Default Wheels, Tires & Lift kits

Im gonna be picking up a rescue green 2dr wrangler x s package with a 6 speed and towing package in June. It's my first jeep and I have been looking into diffrent setups on wheels tires and lift kits. I have a very low budget & this will also serve as my daily drive, with that, do ya'll have any comments on a setup of MT classic II rims with 35" DC radial FC II tires with a 3" Teraflex lift? I've seen this setup as streetable but will it hold up on a trail? I've been looking at a 35" setup because of the ratio of the towing package so I could get better gas mileage and I can get more flex out of it, but does anyone know of a cheaper 33" setup that will function equivalent to the one mentioned above? If Im confused on anything or if yall have a link that will answer my questions let me know. Thanks for any help.

That setup sounds good if you can find the wheels in stock. I am running the Teraflex 3" and am happy with it, but would not discount the Full Traction economy kit if it fits your budget as well.

Thank yall for the refrences and recomendations, JKGirl do the rubi tires and wheels fit without any worry of rubbing against anything?

That thread intimidates me with the descriptions of massive backorders and such. I may look into that rubicon tire and wheel setup a little more closer or just drive it stock until the rush for parts has subsided a bit, along with the prices.

Thanks for the help again.
