What all components considerations are needed for a 3.5" lift?

[MALLCRAWLER]

I see numerous kits on the market with varying components. So far I believe I need the following for my 2022 diesel jt with 35"x wheels at -12 offset

track bar brackets (synergy)
front and rear upper control arms (core4x4)
sway bar endlinks (not sure where to get these)
springs ( haven't picked a set yet, would like dual rate and matched to the bilsteins)
shocks ( I am looking at using bilstein 5100s)
leveling kit of some sort?
associated bump stops and hardware?

I've read warnings about high extension shocks letting the front drive shaft damage itself. I don't think I will be doing much "articulation" on the local florida trails, so I'm not sure I should be worried about that? I really would like to keep suspension geometry optimal but I don't have a huge budget; I'm trying to lift the jeep with good geometry and some extra articulation for $~1500.

With this being the case I would skip the adjustable control arms and get geometry correction brackets, and also maybe consider less lift.

With the front driveshaft concerns do a little research, I have seen a few people around here list the max extended shock length you can run before you get driveshaft issues. DO NOT just buy shocks listed for your specific lift height.

Thanks. It didn't really dawn on me that I could just get relocation brackets at achieve that. No need to buy the arms and bars yet. Looks like relocation brackets are the actual essential items for maintaining the stock geometry.
