We need to know what your goal is....33's 35's 37's etc

Without knowing what size tire you want to run it would be impossible to recommend anything

I recommend you search the forum first. Read first, then come back with questions. Lots and lots of good discussions about options, brands, build strategies. First ask yourself how much you want to spend, how much you can spend, and for what purposes are you lifting, and direct your reading/searching from there.

^^both of what above says^^ What trails you plan to go on is key. Before everybody starts trying to convince you to buy lifts that they have good and bad, and tempt you with pictures.

Rock crawler, beach buggy, expedition travel, mall crawler, trips to fish camp? How will you use your Jeep? This drives tire size, and tire size drives lift.

To caveat off marks last statement, once you figure that part out. I would suggest looking up "my thoughts of lifts" thread as well. I'm new to this game but I think that thread will help out.

Keep in mind that once the mod bug hits your mpg will drop. Recovery gear, portable air and decent rock rails for starters.
