Default Upgrades

Just bought the Jeep Sport S a few weeks ago. Need to decide on getting a lift and Rims and Tires, or just rims and tires. Looking for something good for a little off roading but most part would be street driving. The dealer had a set of Ultra Crushers Satin Black with some Kelly TSR tires, looked great, and they did not have a lift.
What is the majority of people going with for this type of driving. I am also hopeing to keep about the same gas mileage.

Default Congrats on your jeep!

Did you purchase a 2-door or unlimited? l'm on the road 90% of the time and i think 33"s give the jeep a stance it should have had from the start.

I put the aev 2.5" lift on mine with 285 Duratrac's and it looks great. Only lost about 1-2 mpg which was a lot better than I thought. No humming on the highway, good snow and rain traction, and they look great. I'd go that route again in a heart beat.

I picked up the 2 door. A local place near by swears by the BDS and also comes with lifetime warranty, so I may go the 3 or 3.5 lift. You have any pics of your Jeep with the 33's?
