Kinda newb lift question-lift springs

so i have a 2" bl already installed on my jeep, dont flame. I always planned on getting a suspension lift after that, but just now have the $. after being sort of scared off by the price, and more by the idea of doing it in the driveway i'm left wondering if it really is just as simple as buying new coils and shocks? I'm not looking for much, maybe 2 inches. is there anything else i need? i guess i always just imagined that all the things included in lift kits are necesary

I think I'd scale back the BL to 1", or 1.25". Then, consider some 2" coil spring spacers and new shocks (Budget Boost). You can always sell the BB if you decide on a spring lift later after you find out if you need it for the terrain you do. It's the least expensive route...

i kinda got talked into the bl, and its unfortunate. whats done is done though. i cant take it off myself, not with the resources i have at this point. ive only had the jeep for 7 months, and its only got 43k miles. i'm sure i will have it a long time to come, eventualy i will remove the bl, but for right now i am just looking for an answer so i can consider my options. Like i said i dont need much. These are my friends pics of the most popular spot. Nothing to crazy
