Would you recommend having the 2.5 inch lift with 33s and wheel spacers or getting a 3.5 inch with 35s and new wheels if I plan on going offroading on a somewhat regular basis?

honsetly, i might recommend that you install a 2.5" lift and trim your factory fenders or, install a 1" body lift if you need to keep your fenders and run 35's. this is a great setup, one that'll work well off road and one that is very affordable to do.

Yup! If you ever even think you might go 35's don't do 33's now...you'll wish you had gone with the 35's almost instantly. Fender trim will probably interest you quickly after wheeling with the bigger tires because you will rub, and sometimes at the oddest moments. Suspension lifts clear bigger tires, bigger tires provide the ground clearance.

I have no lift, stock ATs, 1.5 wheel spacers, and the Teraflex discos. This weekend while wheeling I noticed I rub the swaybar at full turn (and I'm guessing full stuff. I plan on upgrading the rims either before or when I upgrade the tires. Spacers are nice but they don't move as much of the tire out as it does having actual decrease in backspacing. I'm thinking of keeping the spacers and running rims with 5in bs to give me a total of 3.5 bs.
