I'm in the same boat. I'm looking into Old Man Emu springs, which by word of mouth, are quite good.
Places I've looked
Jeepinoutfitters.com
Says they discontinued the 2" variety and only offer 3". I think they still do tj 2", but I don't know if they're useable.
Quadratech.com
They've got some iirc in 2" varieties. They sell a 1.5" kit with leaves, but not a 1.5" leaf pack so I wonder where those come from.
From what ive seen youll need to buy bushings for the springs as well. Let me know what you find.

I was going to try calling quadratech to see if I can swoop on some of the 1.75" ones (they probably ride a bit high anyway). Otherwise id just research the tj ones and get those if they'll work.

Looking for any guidance on a 6.5" lift over a 5.5". I am planning to go with either their 5.5" or 6.5" long arm kit from Iron Rock Offroad. I'll be running 33x12.5s and may want to go to 35s at some point but not unless I find the 33s won't get me where I want to go.
Any reason to go all the way to the 6.5" lift over? The argument for 6.5" seems to be ability to run 35-37" tires and better clearance. The argument against seems to be center of gravity.

There's no need to go above about 4.5" of lift and 33s where I live, but it depends on the terrain you wheel. I like Low Center of Gravity builds with a lot of tire under a small lift. They're stable, and I like the look.
Go ahead and do some research on nontraditional lift setups.

And also Serious Offroad, and I think Rock Krawler has one. Worth mentioning if you're including the higher budget companies like Clayton.
