hemm, well my friend i have a wrangler with the OME lift kit and 31"tyres thats all the mods my car has, i've done them like a month ago ... i love how the car performs off road, mashalla it goes everywhere ...
the lift kit is just fine, yes its a little soft when driving the car hard but nevertheless its very good ...
so you have two options as i see them, the 2.5 OME or the 3" Teraflex with rancho 9000 shocks (these "9000" are they only ones avilable as far asi know for this kit in the local market) so if you go with the 2.5" you can go with either 31" or 32" tyres ,,, and if you go with the 3" you can go up to 33" ... so its up to you, the 31" needs no regearing your stock gears are 3.73 ... mine are 3.55 but they are still good when offroading, so you should be more than okay with the 31" and your current gear ratio.
am satisfied with my setup, and i go offroading every weekend, the reason i went with this setup is that its very simple and i didnt have to go with the complications of a 3" setup plus am willing to get the new wrangler in a couple of years inshalla so i didnt want to waste my money on my current car.
so heres a summary, if you want the more advanced setup this is it:
** 3" Teraflex lift kit with Rancho Shocks 9000
** Front and Rear track bars
33" Tyres with 15*8 wheels (you'll need the rear tyre carrier for this size of tyre)
** 4.56 R/P (you'll have to change the rear diff carrier, or install a rear locker in place of the carrier (but the 4.56 R/P usually comes with the rear carrier when you get them from here)
these are the essential things
you can also add a slip yoke eliminator kit "SYE" and CV drive shaft ... you go with this option if you dont want to lower the transfer case, its an expensive option but very much worth it as i heard.
the other option is the OME 2.5" lift kit and 31" tyres
i think i went into alot of details here
but anyways dont let it confuse you. ask what ever you like and the members will be more that glad to help. (like they did with me 
)
yeah one more thing ,,, if your goin to buy your parts from the local market then i'd suggest ARB in Abu Dhabi, they dont have all the parts i mentioned but they alot of offroad parts and gear with the best prices in the market. the OME lift kit costs around Dh 2700 with all the parts you need including the steering staiblizer.
Good luck man
