if you've already got tow points front and rear and rocker guards, start thinking about how big of a tire you want to run or can afford to run and, that'll help you to determine the rest.

I would keep the lift minimal. 2 1/2" to 3" is plenty to clear 35's. Pick up a set of spidertrax spacers to get proper backspacing with the factory wheels

any of the 2.5" budget boost out there will get the job done and really, at this height, you really can't go wrong with whatever you get.

This.. and a good lift kit is the Teraflex 2.5in or Rock Krawler 2.5in kit. Both are good. And if you go Rk go with Bilsten 5100 shocks.
