I suggest putting together your own bespoke lift kit and installing it yourself. You don't need much in the way of specialised tools but it helps to have a decent workspace and a spare set of hands to help out. There are heaps of threads about suspension on here and thousands of Youtube videos to help you get started.
I presume your Wrangler is totally unmodified so I suggest your first mods for off-roading should be front sway-bar disconnects if it's not a Rubicon, a steering stabiliser flip bolt or bracket, rear diff cover and you might as well do the front diff cover with the stabiliser flip, rear tow hitch with recovery receiver and a set of Maxtrax.
Get a bull bar with recovery points and while your credit card is out, get some rock sliders or better steps too, especially if you like rock crawling.
Get a suspension lift with your bigger wheels and tyres or at least the right bumpstops so the tyres don't tear off your flares at full compression. A bigger and heavier spare will also need a stronger tailgate hinge or a rear bar with tyre carrier.
Mods that you can do day 1 are better headlight reflectors with bulbs, extended diff breather lines, hood latch replacements and A-pillar driving lights.
I suggest getting a winch last, after a snorkel, bash plates, a rear locker, roof rack, good seat covers and a good head unit.
I get most of my parts from Double Black Offroad, Jeep Konnection and SBR Offroad. They all have been the cheapest at some point with everything that I have needed and I have had great service from them all.
Stay away from JPA/aftermarketjeep.com.au like they have a corona-cough and you forgot your facemask in your other handbag.
