X2 on the regearing. Sounds like you may have 3.07 or 3.73 gearing. If you are going to 33" tires, 4.56 is a good choice of gear if you have the manual transmission. 35's would warrant 4.88 gearing.

Installing a CB is as simple as:
 
1. Determine where your antenna will be. There are number of mount points (bumper, to a mount that goes behind the taillight (see Teraflex's website), or one that mounts to the rear tire carrier (see www.arizonarockyroad.com for ideas).
2. Run the cable from the antenna to the dash area. Some run their cable under the body. Others, like me run it through the interior and 'sandwich' it in the rear tailgate door.
3. Mount CB. I have a Cobra 75WxSt (all in one type setup). I mounted the control box behind the dash and put the connector point in a second switch bezel. Nice and clean. If you have a fullsize CB, you can attach it to the top of the dash, to the side of the shifter/t-case console, or even on the back part of the console. Your call.
 
Here is what mine looks like.
 

 
The CB itself clips in just to the right of the steering wheel.
 

 
Just get creative and have fun.

2" Lift Kits for 02' TJ by sah538

Just wondering if anyone recommends either the Rubicon Express 2" Budget Boost or the Skyjacker 2" Spacer kit with nitro shocks. I didn't know if one is better then the other, they both seem to be very popular and are equally priced.

Given the choice of those 2, I'd go with Rubicon Express. I've known too many people running Skyjacker that were not happy with their products, esp their shocks and control arms.
 
If you are looking for a good riding 2" lift of so, consider OME (Old Man Emu) out of Australia. A bit pricier, but the ride is VERY VERY nice.
 
I'm not a huge fan of using stock springs any longer than ya have to. My 97's springs were sagging BAD. That 2.5" OME lift actually gave me over 3" over what I had previously, so I KNOW my springs were going south. Aftermarket springs tend to be a bit stronger IMO while providing a better ride.
 
If you can't swing OME, then I'd go RE.

From what I've read on other Jeep forums about exhausts, the Cherry bombs sound badass w/o the bad.. they just sound like ... well you know.
 
Not sure there really are any great mufflers for the 4.0, but I've heard mention of a few. I can't recall their names, but I know CherryBomb was not on that list.
