I'm doing a Teraflex leveling kit with 33's right now, I think it'll do what I'm wanting right now. Down the road, I may want more lift though, I'm in a hard place too.

AEV 2.5" Lift
I'm running a 2.5" AEV lift with 315/70/17 KO2's. Went that route partly because I added a couple hundred pounds up front and another 100 in the back with OR-Fab bumpers. I personally think that I get a much better ride on the road and clearly off-road it's much more capable.

Bumpers
The OR-Fab rear bumper is awesome as well. It has built in LED reverse lights in the bumper. They are tied to the regular reverse lights so I have both when reversing. I'll add a picture. Lots of great choices out there, these were just my preferences.

I have a 2" Rancho sport lift, but note I swapped the rear spacer with a 2" JKS JSPEC coil spring. I run 33's with this lift on stock wheels. The tire I run is narrower than a typical 33 at only 11" wide. Ride is great, performance offroad is great.

What tires did you get?

I spent a lot of time researching bumpers! I knew what I wanted in terms of style so it was a matter of just finding the look that I wanted and the fit. The OR-Fab front bumper is a bit over 100 pounds (I think that the total weight for shipping was 125 pounds. Add the Warn-8000S and it's up to about 200 pounds. Going wth the synthetic saved me about 35 pounds. No measureable sag with the AEV 2.5" lift. The bumper itself is amazing! The only other one that I considered was the JCR Offroad bumper. I really liked that one as well. It was a bit more expensive and I believe a little lighter but I didn't really want to wait to get it. I much prefer the steel bumper for a number of reasons (rust and less damage to my Jeep if someone were to hit me being two of the main reasons). The OR-Fab rear bumper is awesome as well. It has built in LED reverse lights in the bumper. They are tied to the regular reverse lights so I have both when reversing. I'll add a picture. Lots of great choices out there, these were just my preferences.
