Has anyone had experiences with this lift kit? It's only 2 inches but it's a good start for me...just looking to see if installation is hard and if it is actually worth it?

what kit would you recommend for a 2.5-3 inch lift?
I would recommend going either OME or Ironman. You could piece something together for around $700-$800
Something like these:
KJ Ironman 1.5" spring lift kit HD - Econo Lift Kits for the KJ - Liberty 2002-2007 (KJ)
or this
OME 1.50" lift kit KJ
They will have you sitting over the 1.5" shown and you can toss in some top plates/clevis spacer etc to get it up even more.
Or if you wanted to throw a bit more money in to it there is also the Tommudd Eocono lift with A-arms and everything combined.
Those would be the way to go if you are on a budget as opposed to a spacer lift.
You could piece them together yourself instead of buying it all at once as a kit as well. get 2 shocks here. 2 there, springs another time and so forth to spread the cost out. Not sure if money is an issue or not.
compared to stock (2003 Limited) how much different would you say a 1.5inch would look, and how big of tires could i actually fit on it?
You will not want to go above 245/75/16. Anything above that you will want to regear regardless of lift height. As far as the exact amount of lift you would be looking at with those 2 lifts I am not 100% certain. I would say with those lifts plus if you toss in some top plates and clevis spacer you'd be close to 2.5" - 3" from stock.
You will probably see more lift if you are sagged below the factoy 19" from hub to fender. So if you are sitting at 18" and it bumps you up to 22" you just got a good 4" of lift from how it is now but it's would be 3" above the factory height.
