IMO, 2.5" or even shorter. The lower you stay the fewer supporting mods you'll need (drive shafts, steering mods, etc.) and the more stable you'll be. It's your tires that give you ground clearance. I have a Rock Krawler 2.5" suspension and with my cut fenders I can easily fit 37's with a little more bump stopping and trimming. Here it is on 35's.

Is it a 2 or 4 door? 2 doors will net more height generally with a given lift because they are lighter. I have 2.5" on my jku and if I could do it again I would have gone 3.5".

I would go 2.5 with cut flares. Ive heard alot of 2 doors guys like to go with a 4 door lift, they say you can get a tad bit more lift out of it. Going over 2.5 like said above can get costly with supporting mods. I can't wait till I get my 35s so I can cut my flares, just a few more weeks.
