A leveling kit or a 2.5" lift would both be a great choice and look good with 33's.

I think you have to define what you intend to do with your Jeep before you can get advice on how high and what kind. I have two Jeeps..one for play and one to go get groceries in.....

They are set up to do different things.

Look at the Teraflex performance leveling kit (springs). I am running 295/75R17 trail grapplers and I barely rub at full stuff.
