Hi to all, my question: will a 2.5" lift w/33" tires work well for on/off road? Are 35"s better? I'm on budget and it's my daily driver. Thanks.

You'd be surprised what even a stock jeep will do off road. You're perfectly capable with 2.5" of lift and 33's. Especially since you're "on a budget", just enjoy your 33s and when it comes time for new tires, you'll probably have a good feel for if you need a bit bigger or not. Lotta people just throw 35's on for looks, not so much because they are "better". That said, 35s still make for a perfectly fine daily driver. Bigger tires will lead to more wear and tear on all the components though. Same issue moving from 35s to 37s and 37s to 40s.
