33's
All I did for my 33's is the M.O.R.E. 1" body lift. No wheel or spring spacers.
It all depends on how wide of a tire you go with. My tires are around 10" in diameter and I have no problems.

I run BFG KM2's 285x70x17 on the stock Rubi/MOAB wheel without a single problem...I don't believe one needs a lift for 33" tyres...it was brought to my attention, though, that my Bilstein gas shocks gave my JK an unintentional 1" lift, but I don't think so.

What if I jsut do the 33's and nothing else? How much will that affect me?
I have been told that there is a safety issue in using the wheel spacers.

The only problem with spacers are the ones that just slide over your lug nuts, they don't make them in 1.5" The 1.5" ones bolt onto you current lugs and have their own that you bolt your wheels to. These are perfectly safe according to Discount Tire and all manufacturers of them. Unless you are going with a tire wider than 10.5" you won't need them anyway.
How do I know the width when is in metric measurments? Is there a simple calculation?

my Discount thought I was talking about the slip on ones until i brought them the bolt on and then said "Oh, those are perfectly safe!"

X2 for the Old Man Emu lift. Me and 1 other friend installed mine in about 2 hours with simple hand tools.
The ride is SOOO much better than stock it rediculous. Much softer and I opted for the heavy spring rate. Willing to bet the mediums ride like a Lincoln.
As you can tell there is more than enough room for 33's. My current tires measure 32.5" tall and look small.
