Don't get the 2" lift. You'll wanna go bigger. Just keep savin and get a Rc 3.5. I know it sucks havin to save up more and not bein able to spend it yet but its worth it.

I just bought a 1"x30' one that I use on the beach. My brothers have 4x2's and it's the best thing to have. Now they don't have to pile up in my xj anymore. The pull isn't harsh like a strap.

Then spend it some some tow points or a receiver hitch.

I plan on getting those things from the JY, cuz I plan on getting JCR front and rear bumpers toward the end of the year, and don't wanna waste money on a new hitch if I'm just gonna take it off at the end of the year

I drive a jeep.... I don't plan on getting stuck. As for pulling out others i got a 30 foot strap that works just great. Don't worry about recovery save it and get a bigger lift if you buy a cheap lift you will always want a bigger lift later.

I figure if I get a cheap 2 inch now, then when I'm ready to go bigger I can just stack this lift with the new one

If you don't plan on getting stuck then you must not plan on wheeling. Never underestimate a trail or mud hole. Even you jeep can get stuck.
