I think the Teraflex leveling kit would be perfect for you. It lifts the front 2", and the rear 1". And you can fit 33's easily. Your speedo will be off a little but going with the slightly larger tire (it will read slower than you are actually going).

The kit is very easy to install, and nothing else needs to be changed.

They may rub a tiny bit at full flex (My 32's never have, and I have flexed it to it's max). And you should be fine with stock wheels. Although wheel spacer will give you a better stance. And you may rub when turning at full lock with the wider tires. Unless you go with narrower 33's.

I would say your MYGIG nav isn't specific to just a JK, that they us the same one in all of the Chrysler vehicles and the tire size on the vehicle will have no effect on the nav whatsoever.

Happy with my 2" RE BB with monoshocks....it took out the factory rake and it clears 33's nicely and you won't have any rubbing while flexed.

the only thing I would look at upgrading is to get a quick Disco's like JKS if you are planning on off-roading and doing some flexing. Also, if you are using stock rims get some spacers if you go wider than 12" 33's this will avoid rubbing lock to lock steering.

Your speedo will be out alittle bit depending on the size of tires that came stock on your JK.
