Well guys, it's either lift or tires and wheels. I am thinking that getting the wheels and a set of 33 inch tires for now would be good, and just wait til spring for the lift. From your personal experience would this be the best thing to do? Or to get the lift now and tires/wheels later 
I bought wheels and tires (32's) first and had some rubbing issues at full turn. They also rubbed the fenders slightly when flexed. I put a leveling kit on and that solved the issues. I ran this set-up for almost 2 years as my daily driver and was very pleased with the performance and fuel mileage. (19 hi-way, 16 city).
I've since upgraded with coils, Bilsteins, 315-70R17 DuraTracs and BW flat panel flares. I lost mpg until I could get a Superchips FlashPaq. The Superchips is a real improvement, it can fix a lot of little things too, like the speedo, TPMS and shift points for an auto tranny. It's not a fix for proper gearing, which is my next big mod. But its ok for now. I like my JK even more!

Ok, so after looking around I think I'm going to go with the 2.5 TF coil lift and run the stock shocks until they give out or I find a deal on a set of bilsteins. I've also been browsing wheels and have come across a set that I think look good, so you guys tell me what you think, good or bad. [ATTACH]218366[/ATTACH

I'm gonna order the wheels some time next week, and get a set of 285/70/17 nitto terra grapplers. I already have a set of 15 inch bullet hole wheels that I am going to get a set of mud terrains for so I don't have to worry about scratching up my new wheels on the trails. Thanks for your advice on this stuff guys, it's much appreciated! I will have pics up as soon as I get the tires/wheels on the jeep!
