Dude, I'd go with 33s and a nominal 2" lift. While home last week I saw a 4 door with just enough lift to look good with 33s and thought how practical it was for a DD and on road use. A huge improvement of looks over stock. Best bang for the buck in my book.

I went a little further with my 2 door but it is just a toy.

I have the 6 speed with 4.10 and my wife has the auto with 3.23. There is a huge difference. I run 33's and and she has 32's. Her Sahara struggles on the some of the trails while my Unlimited has plenty of power to go over the same obstacles. If you go to 33's, you will notice a big decrease in climbing power with your auto trans and the gears that you have.

Finally, got the TF leveling kit installed and now ready for the wheels and tires. My initial game plan was to switch out the Bridgestone Dueler 18s to some 33" MT MTZs on stock 18s with some wheel spacers but after doing the math, I may switch out the wheels too.

Love the Rugged Ridge hyper silver wheels with 4.5 BS. Would look sharp on a Deep Water Blue.

Trying to pick between 11.5 and 12.5 width. Don't want it to stick out too much from the fenders.

I have 33" MT ATzs, 305/65/R17 on Procomps with 4.75" backspace and -6mm offset. They are 12.5" and here is how they look

I got to say I had a 2.5 and 33's before pretty good gas mileage now I got 35s and gas is not good neither was the clearance

I put 33's on my 2011 Rubi Unlimited and a 2.5 Teraflex lift. It still rides great and the gearing does not need to be changed. I still get decent MPG and for the type of off-roading that I do, this rig is perfect. I had 35's on my 09 and regeared to 4:88's and watched the fuel drop from around 14 to 9. Also, the 2K investment in gears, etc. Nothing wrong with doing that if you use the rig for some serious off-offroading, but I found I did not need everything I had done and was convinced I would not do it on my new one. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Nice. That looks great!! Doesn't look like the 12.5 width sticks out too much. The wheels I want I think have 4.5BS with -12mm offset. Would probably look similar.
