I have been happy with my Black Diamond 2" lift with shocks, it was a pretty easy install. You don't need an adjustable trackbar if you can live with the axles being shifted about a 1/4" of center, it does not effect the handling of the Jeep. I am running 33" Cooper Discoverer ST's and have plenty of clearence for them.

for the record, you can run 33's without a lift, albeit you may need wheels spacers, or after-market rims.

The 2" OME rides and drives very nicely. And yes the axle shift does affect the ride. Trackbars recommended.

Default 33's????

stock rubis run 32's. I think u could run 33's if ya want to. maybe use a 1" body lift to keep ya from rubbing. if ur dead set on a suspension lift u might wanna go with 35's that'll give you another inch of ground clearance over the 33's. I personally don't like a suspension lift. changes angles of driveshafts and stuff like that. I heard there was a 2" body lift on the market right now for a JK. I plan to get one of those myself and run 35s with a wheel spacer. For around $500 you can get a set of those xenon flares and run 35's with no lift according to one fella that's posting on this forum about it.
