If you get a jk for 13 then engine swap for 15. You have about 15k for new front axle and suspension and tires. Depending on what you need for suspension it could be a pretty nice rig for 45k with a v8. If you go pr60 front and rear yes i agree it would be way over but it all depends on the specific plans for it

What exactly do I need to buy for the coilovers? Is there a complete kit from ORE?

There's no "complete kit" from ore that is everything you need to go from stock to coilovers and driving, but they can create one for you.
Bare minimum extras that you'll need in a 4door is front lower control arms and front drive shaft.
Very recommended extras are drag link flip kit.
In a 2door you'll need a rear drive shaft as well as rear upper control arms
The "kit" includes all bracketry for the coilovers, the coilovers themselves, extended brake lines, rear track bar relocation bracket, and bump stop extensions.
Edit: probably obvious but the added control arms need to be adjustable
