Welcome! As to the question... how much money do you want to spend? How important is the daily driver aspect of your Jeep? What sort of trails do you want to run? Or is it more for the beach? Normally don't go over about a 3 inch and 35 inch tires if you want to keep ride on a small budget. Jk's will take bigger tires than that... but the costs of making it drive nice over that point require a lot more of an investment...

Take the time to search out what others have done, you can get an idea of what you like, then let your wallet determine if you're going to build it that way or not.

To add to what Sunny said, in the end if you want a "big" JK and you actually use it, you're going to have to pay to play. Big armored JKs with big tires get heavy fast, way too heavy for the gears to move, or the axles to burden, or the transmission to push with those stock gears.

Remember, the search function is your friend :-)
