Tires and lift
Ok I'm thinking of a teraflex 2.5 or 3 in lift and 33s with 17s does anyone have any advise or good set ups like just man up and get 3in with 35s and 18s or anything I don't want to lose to much mpg mainly street beach and some mild off road but I don't want a pussy spacer lift

I usually keep the cruise on 65 for freeway - damn thing will do 100mph but there better be a gas station near by

I have a Teraflex 2.5" bb and 35's and it does just fine for me, and i do a heck of a lot more than street, beach, and mild offroading.. IMO a budget boost would be perfect for your needs. Same ride as stock and fit up to 35's easily. Sure it doesn't flex like a long arm, but you get same flex as stock which does fine for me and fine for your mild offroad and beach driving.
As for "manning up with 35's and 18's, I wouldn't go over 17" and 35's but that's just my opinion. You'll get more sidewall for offroad and better performance aired down. I myself actually have 15's for that reason and also, 35" KM2's are $240 for 15" wheels, and $412 for 18's. Lol have fun with that!!
I would go 35's cuz you'll regret 33's. I went from 18-19.5 average mpg to 14.5-15.5 on 35's but still on 3.21's. That will change soon. Rock trac 4:1 case going in tomorrow and 4.10 gears soon to follow

I got the same 2.5 budget boost and I have never had a problem. I regret getting 33's on 18's so I just order 16's on 36/13.50 swampers. Definitely get bigger tires

I guess everyone has their own opinion regarding lift and tire size. I installed an AEV 2.5 kit on my 2012 and went with 35 inch tires last week... I like the look but if I had it to do over I go with a LT305 or maybe LT 315 size. A 35 inch tore is a little large for my taste to be a daily driver that hits the trails every other month for a weekend trip...
