New here and have a few questions.

I have a 99 Jeep tj Sahara edition with 33" bfg ats and everything else is stock. I want to get it lifted but I am kind of new to the jeep world. These are my current plans. Structured criticism and advice is greatly appreciated.

I currently plan on getting the Rough Country 2.5" suspension lift and 1.25" body lift combo for $389.95 and then getting a jks budget motor mount for $58.48.

Does this sound ok?

Will I need sway bar disconnectors?

If I dont need sway bar discos, then do I need to get new links?

Do I need to get wheel spacing? How much? I'm running 33's on stock wheels.

What else do I need to do, this is my first time building on a jeep. I'm open to any other suggestions also. Thanks a lot!
 
I think your headed on the right direction, Disco's are always good to have when your out wheeli'n just for the sake of articulation. There are better experts here that can tell you about the Wheel spacing, but for me , i left that after i was done installing the lift to figure out what i needed to do.
 

Lets see if we can answer some, with 2.5 suspension lift your going to need new sway bar links (lower lames) to keep the main sway bar near parallel with the road.
With the 1.25 body lift added (3.750 total) You are also going to need brake line extensions and shocks.
Make sure your body lift comes with the required brackets to move the radiator back into C/L of the fan and shroud.

You "might" need a SYE (slip yoke eliminator) kit for drive line vibrations and new drive line. But the motor lift "might" save you here.
You "might" need a transfer case shifter relocation bracket, but some one else could answer this since I don't have any experience with body lifts.

Your tires and wheels will give no problems, since the lift will not effect them.
Check and make sure your front and rear track bar have room for the required adjustment here. I think factory has the room.(?)
