Default Lift, Wheel and tire combo?

I know I asking the same old question, sorry in advance, i'm a noob.

But, i have a 2011 jk, 6-speed, 3.21
And this is my daily driver, 65 miles round trip.

So far i have installed a mopar CAI ( merits are debatable, i know), a gibson ss exhaust and a best top trek top nx. I am currently getting 23 mpg.

I want to do a mild lift, such as AEV dual sport2.5" , or rock crawler stock mod 2.5" or teraflex 2.5"
And move up to a large 33" wheel and tire package. The options seem to be endless and i would love some input/advice and pics

Thanks, great forum

at just 2.5" of lift, you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose to go with. having said that, if you're only trying to clear 33's, you might want to save your money and just get a leveling kit and call it a day.

I ran my 4dr on 33'' with no lift and no problems with spidertrax wheel spacers. with the Teraflex leveling kit i now have room for 35''. If you stay with an all-terrain tire you should be ok mileage wise and decent in the power department.
