I just got new tyres and this lift and tyres combo should last a couple of
years for me to gain more experience and then decide whether I want to go
any higher or stay with this setup. At this stage, its my daily driver as
well so I have to be moderate in my insanity.

Thanks for your comments, they are much appreciated. I am not prepared to
dedicate one vehicle to trail use only at this stage. As such, everything
(including my budget) has to be in moderation. May be in 2/3 years things
might change.

Get JKS#2001. Fits 2.5" - 6" lift on a TJ. You'll use the links adjusted
to their shortest height and this should put the anti-sway bar arms at
the preferred angle of +10 degrees with your 2.5" lift. As you add more
weight and your springs sag over time, you'll still be within the
recommended limit of +15 degrees:

When you get your SYE, track bars, control arms, and 2" coil spacers to
clear 33s, your discos will adjust to fit.

I suppose one could argue that it would EVER so SLIGHTLY increase the
COG, but not enough to matter, IMHO. I liked the MML idea since it
allowed him to keep his t-case skid at stock height so that the belly
clearance gained by the lift kit wasn't simply negated by dropping the
t-case skid.
He got his OME lift from a mail-order place here in the U.S. called
DPG offroad. The kit he got included the MML and BL, instead of
including a t-case drop kit.
I'm sure either way will work for you, though, and since you do plan
on doing the SYE in a reasonable amount of time, it's not a big deal.

Thanks Steve for all your valuable input. It probably has saved me from
blowing my budget.
Do you have any recommendations for how to extending the rear anti-sway bar
linkage? I don't want to completely disconnect front and rear at the same
time.
