Default What Lift kit to get

I just purchased 4 285/75/16 BFG AT tires, i am currently running the stock 29" tires QQ, when i get my 33's in should i get a 2.5" teraflex coil lift, or just the leveling kit, i dont offroad much, but stock is pretty harsh just on roads around here, was gonna get new shocks too, i also dont want to tires to look small (i have them in my house and they are massive) what would you guy suggest, any pics? I have a 2012 2dr, and will most likely be adding bumpers and a winch later down he road. Thanks!

as mentioned, you can pretty much run them without a lift so, i would just get the leveling kit.

This is basically what you would look like with a 2.5" lift. Those are the factory 255/75r17 (32.06") your 285/75r16 (32.83") would be 0.77" taller and 1.18" wider.

If you plan on sticking with the 33's just run a leveling kit.
