How about a M.O.R.E. 1in BL, if you just want a little. One inch, not so bad, anything more is too much imo.

I have the same lift.
do you have a 2door or a 4 door?
I wanted a bit more lift as well as pick up the rear a little bit due to the weight of the spare tire it sat 1/4" lower than the front with it mounted.

I put 1" teraflex spacers in the front and 1.75 daystars in the rear.... Unfortunatly I then wrecked my tailgate so now it has the factory rake

If you have a 4dr get spacers, if you have a 2dr get a body lift

This is what she looks like

As john smack said, if you don't go crazy with coil spacers, you could lift accordingly aswell. Right now I'm running 4in superlift springs in the rear with a 1 3/4 in spacer and TF 4in in the front with a 1in spacer. Sits almost level.

For 40's i would say you are going to need a 6" adn maybe a bit more. but 37-38's would work fine under my Jeep
