Taller tires will give more clearance under the diffs. And a taller suspension lift will give more clearance for the belly. But how would we know how big your rocks are?

^ What he said. I run a 2.5" lift and 35s and it does really well but I drag my belly a lot...but it's why I have skids plates. Decide what size tire you want to run and then figure out your lift from there.

I know for a fact I'll be running 33s but I'm debating on 3inch or 2.5

2.5". The dark green (looks black) four door is running that in this video. Unless you're thinking bigger.
