Default Need ideas

I have a 2013 2dr jk that I've been slowly upgrading. It's my first jeep and I make decent money for being in high school. I go off-road every once in a while like a field or small trails/mud holes. It's my daily driver but I want it lifted (not really high) with either 33s or 35s. Ideas?

Get flat fenders and throw 35's on, you can keep the factory suspension setup. If they don't quite clear get a small coil spacer lift

You know, I will tell you this. I took my stock JKU sport off road before any mods to see for myself what I would need. I found that a little more clearance would benefit me so I went with a 2.5 spring lift and will get 35"s. I recommend you do the same, take it off road stock and see what fits your needs. These things are awesome stock, you would be amazed what they can handle. If you are not climbing rocks or running rock gardens, you may consider 33" tires and no lift.
