Appreciate the responses. I have been reading through the expedition thread slowly there are numerous pages an am subscribed regarding new replies. I am taking all information into consideration. This is not a simple choice to make.

 

The way I look at it, if your not rock crawling, max flex is not an issue, ride comfort, milage and use ability is. Teraflex leveling is 130 bucks, and gets the height to run 33's. You get a big enough tire to handle most any trail you will see, but will keep your milage on the roads. You will get less bad handling problems, you don't "need" new shocks until yours wear out. Its just a very affordable setup to set your jeep apart from the stockers, that wheels really good in overland type adventures. I wheel mine lots. And no issues.

If you want a little more room in the future, add a 1" body lift and you can fit 35" tires easily. All keeping in the budget side of things. Adding the body lift keeps your center of gravity lower as well to keep your on road handling as well.
