Default Help on a lift please?

I have a 2 door and i am going to be getting 33s because I use my baby as my everyday car. However I do want it to look mean and have the capabilities off some moderate off roading. I have a Gibson exhaust and AEM air intake so she has the guts and noise now needs looks. With that being said , what size lift is the maximum I can put on it with out the tires looking too small? I would appreciate your input and if possible pictures too!! Thanks

In my opinion with 33's. I wouldn't go more than3.5 lift Anything more and it might look to small tires. I have 33's with3.25 lift.

To be honest it looks like the xrc. And sounds like it is built decent. Only time will tell I guess but was a lot cheaper than what I paid for mine!
I'm sure it will be fine. It will look great on ur jeep too!

Since you will be getting aftermarket bumpers, you can either get:

1) A TeraFlex 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit (coils)
2) A 2" coil lift
3) A 2.5" TeraFlex Budget Boost Lift (pucks)

....Below is a pic of my Jeep with a Rock Krawler 2.5" coil lift with 33" Boggers. This lift can easily accommodate 35s. As soon as these wear out I will be jumping up to 35s...
