Ok for those who have been reading my post, 2" BDS coil lift, I have come across a barley used pair of 2" OME coils on another jeep site. SCORE! But now I have to find some shocks for it. Any suggestions?
Also besides shocks what else will i need for this?

you should be able to get away with your stock shocks for at least a little bit if you cant find shocks right away. as far as other stuff, you probably won't need anything, but you might consider a steering stabilizer.

This is what I was told, what do you guys think?
New control arms are not needed. Bumpstop extensions (inexpensive), rear track bar relocator, and new shocks are suggested. The stock shocks will do you fine if you use bar pin eliminators (which adds almost an inch to their length) and don't add spring spacers to the springs.

def dont need CA's. and if your stock shocks are still in good shape, then the BPE's will certainly allow you to keep and run those for a while.
i really dont think there's a need for the track bar relocator in the rear. generally speaking, those brackets are junk anyways. bumpstop extensions are simple, if you did find a kit, more than likely they'd be included.

What i got is just the springs so that is all i am getting from this guy. He is just going to higher springs. I just want to make sure I get all that i need.

stock shocks will work on road, off road, I would suggest longer shocks for proper axle articulation. some napa or autozone cheapo's would be best for a tight budget. if not, most name brand shocks for that application run between $25-$40.

Yea I paid $30 a piece for my rustys shocks and have been pleased with them, I know PORC also sells their shocks for ~$30.

which ome springs did you get, they make soft medium and heavy load..bar pins are a great idea with any shock! gonna be one of my next modifications, which I should have done! with that high of a spring, always over 2", OME HD rates 2.7 to 3.0 lift depending on current load (I got 2.75 with a hardtop, full sized spare, tire carrier, bumpers, etc... Youre going to have to do something about the front and rear trackbar, OME makes a great kit bracket for the rear, adjustible trackbars are even better tho, you def need one for the front
