if you want a little bit of height then i would say look at the 2.5" lift and 3" lift range. keep in mind most suspension systems yeild more then they advertise, such as Rubicon Express and Old Man Emu, if you're wanting 33's and want some height i would say a 2.5" lift. It's enough height to make it still look good while seeming a little tall. in my opinion

 

You can but you rub with the sways connected off road, ask me how I know

haha

Here is 33's with 2" OME



The OME 2" gets you a little closer to 3 inchs if you run the HD coils with stock bumper and no winch etc you'll be closer to 3.5 is my understanding.

Good luck

 

My 35's worn down to 33.5's with a 4in superlift, rear spacer and a 1in bl, should give you an idea. Big white rollarskate, luckily I have 37's now.

 

once i get mine from the stealership i'll get some pics up

 

I had TF 2.5" BB and 33s, HATED IT! ESPECIALLY when I chopped the flares. Went to 35s...Trust me, don't do it. It's going to look goofy and unbalanced.

 

4" Skyjacker with 285/ 75-16 Firestones

 

OK OK, you beat me down. I think I will stick with a 3" or less. The next question is why would I go with a (say Teraflex) coil lift over a long arm lift (lets also say Teraflex) or vice versa?

 

Long arms are welded in....once you install it, there's no going back to stock.

Coil lifts(much more affordable) can be upgraded to be a long arm.

 

So I should start with the coil? I am pretty new to all this.

 

Since you asked, here's a couple of pics of my jeep - the first with a RC 4" lift and the stock Sahara Bridgestone Duellers on 18s which are closer to a 32 than a 33....



followed by a similar shot with the same lift and going to the 35s on 16s...



The pictures speak for themselves... Like most have said, 33s and 4" is probably not a desirable combination unless you just need the room for articulation... from a visual standpoint, it looks a little out of place... definitely go to 35s in the least if you go 4" or if you plan on going no bigger than 33s, just do a budget boost or a 2.5" to keep the aesthetics.
