Hi from Florida
I previously owned a TJ and went away from a Jeep for the past several years until Saturday. My wife and I took delivery of a 2013 Sahara JKU. We are loving it so far and I have been browsing the forum ever since trying to get lift, wheel and tire info. WOW is it complicated, I have never seen buying wheels and tires be so complicated. I still have many questions but knows they have probably been asked a million times so I will continue my search and hopefully find the answers.
Here it is when we first brought it home.

Hi from Florida
I have the AEV 3.5" lift with Fuel Octane wheels and 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers and I love the entire setup. I did the lift in my garage by myself. i bought the tires/rims online from SD Wheel Corp for $2550 mounted, balanced, and shipped to my door. I bought the lift from Quadratec. Both had very fast shipping and great customer service. Only issue was with the lift instructions where hard to use and actually outdated, but they had the updated instructions on their website which I didn't know until way into the install.
Where are you located in Florida? I'm near Orlando.

I am in Clearwater area. All the research I have done has pointed me in the direction of a 2" lift or a leveling kit with 33's I would love to go 35" but this is my wifes daily driver and I don't want to regear or kill gas milage. I am thinking 18" wheels looking at Fuel, Ballistic and XD and a 295/65/18 all terrain tire but there are so many questions with back spacing, offset rubbing etc... that I still don't have 100% figured out.
