Default waranty and lift

ok guys , i am wanting to lift my jk , i know spring lift is better, but i was thinking that the 2.5 bb and a 1 inch body lift might be my best option when it comes to my lifetime drivetrain warranty. i figure i can take the lift out and put my stock tires on before i take it in to be repaired if needed . the body lift can stay since they offer that at the dealership. i'm also was debating between 33 or 35 tires , there is a big difference in looks , wich leaves me to the next question , if i go with 35 will one of the programmers like hypertech help with shifting if i stay stock gears . i have 2007 auto with 4.11 ratio. im not a hard core off-roader but do like to hit he trails from time to time. please give me your thoughts and real experiences with similiar situations would be great.

My dealer said i can go with up to a 4 inch suspension lift with no warranty issues. There are many on his lot that have the 4 inch lift. With 4.11's, you'll have minimal problems with 35's, but you will need both the 2.5 suspension lift and the 1 inch body lift for clearance.

I have a Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with no body lift and clear 35's fine. You are going to have to either change your stock wheels or add spacers to run 35's though.
