Default Best budget mods?

So I just bought my wife a bone stock JK. I have a TJ that I use for wheelin, so I guess her jeep will be a Mall Krawler / part time offroad. I am trying to get the best bang for the least buck. Lol. I can't decide whether I should run 33's or 35's, or a 2.5" lift or a 4". Can anyone give me some advice in which direction I should go?

if its a 2 door the unlimited rubi shocks and springs are a great way to add a couple of inches of lift for cheap!

Get some DIY quick disconnects, $20 gets you all you need + spares. And I agree on the Rubi suspension components, have them on my 2 door. They work well!

Mall crawler points....blue led footwell lights? <$10 eBay plus wiring.

Small budget boost and 35's looks great and Is low still for decent dd

Vanity plate MALCRWL (dont know)

Tons of stuff to do. I started off only wanting to do a few cheap things. Now I have 15k into my rig it's a jeep thing. I caught the jeep itch. I suffer from jeep-itis. Hi my name is Sean, and I'm a jeep-aholic

33's on 2.5" would be nice for a DD and mall crawler.
