Let me tell you how bad that destroys the ride quality of your car, from experience.

Tremendously. My Wrangler with a 3.5" lift and 35 inch tires rides better than that did.

 

What about coilovers to get a 1 to 2 inch lift? My budget is 2k for parts.

 

I strongly recommend calling RaceComp Engineering (RCE) and having a conversation.

State your budget and your goal and see what they say.
