Default Whats a good lift for 33s?

I'm thinking about 33s over 35s b/c I drive my jeep allot as an everyday driver. So I was wondering if I put 33s on it it wouldn't kill my milage and still look aggressive with some m/t tires. Pics would be awesome! Thanks!

Search this forum and you should find lots. You can go with a Teraflex leveling kit with I think is 2" front and 1" back. You could do a Teraflex 2.5" BB or the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift. I plan on getting the Rock Krawler 2.5" Max Travel kit for my next jeep.
All those kits would work great for you.

I should also note that the 2.5" kits with the longer sway bar links in the back can rub on the inside of your rims if you keep the stock rims and not add wheel spacers.

just run the leveling kit referenced above and keep your costs down until you decide what you will want after the 33's wear out.

I did a 2" spring boost with 1.25" body lift. My 33's fit perfect. I also just added a 1.25 wheel spacers because i'm using the stock wheels and they were just too close to the sway bar on the rear.

You don't think 2.5" lift will be to big for 33s? B/c I think I might upgrade to 35s my next set of tires..
