If going 2 inch you don't "need" the UCAs but they do help and then you'd be done
Ranchos any more are poor shocks for our purpose the RS line is not that good
Ironmans are good shocks since they are even longer than the Bilstein or OMEs so you may check them out. They just came out with their extended rear shocks
245-75-16s on a 7 inch wide wheel with 4 inches of back spacing
gears are up to you, as Ted will tell you it does help a lot even with 245-75-16s

If you've seen my post with my sway bar links you'll see that I'm having issues with bottoming out and control arms hitting my springs. So I would say bump stops and do the arms if your already in there. Only reason I didn't do arms was my ball joints are still good and I can go back and change them when they go bad any time. I run 245/75r16 on stock rims with 1.25 spacers so 4.25" back spacing. I still have stock gears and do fine I think but I'm waiting on 4.56 with 32's down the road.

-2" Lift, prefer to go with OME (I like rancho's but not a complete lift kit or IronMan4x4) :juggle:
OME 2927 front 2731 rear plus front and rear bumpstops from jeepinbyal
Bilstein F4-BE5-D916-H0 (front) from shockwarehouse. Bilstein 185552 (rear) http://bit.ly/1gb8lul
-new gears I should get (ratio)
from what I've read 4.10s for 245/75/16 or 4.56s for 265/75/16s
You've seen my rig a few times, 245/75/16 is what I've got on mine for reference. I'd be willing to bet you could get 265/75/16's w ome springs since the bumpers open things up a bit. You'd prob have hammer down the pinch weld though.
-should I get als a arms right away?
If you have the cash right now I would
-tire size
-rim size (I am thinking about an 1 1/2" offset over an 1 1/2" spacer)
Imo sticking with 16" wheels is best. Gives you so many more tire options that aren 't super expensive. The factory wheels are 5.5" backspacing, so 4" of backspacing will make them stick out 1.5" more. I agree with Tom, 16x7 w 4" bs would be best. 5x4.5 bolt pattern.
