teraflex budget boost. It levels it and gives you about 2.5 inches.

A very common lift @ 2.5" is the Tera Flex Budget Boost. Very economical and practical.

If you're set on running your 32's then I personally would settle for a leveling kit:

and a set of Rubicon shocks.

You will find the most ride height for offroading is in the shoes So if you ever plan on upgrading to bigger tires in the future and you don't want to get that into (money wise) suspension kits, then I would personally opt for the first link.

If you ever want to add a winch, bumpers, and some armor to your jeep along with bigger tires, then you should look a spring/shock lift like this:

Q: How can I level out the factory rake that my JK has?

A: Installing a set of 3/4" coil spacers will help the front end of your JK to sit more level with the rear.

If you want to learn some good information, check out this link. I still use it everyday.
