Thats why you got to just suck it up and go big the first time. I was so excited to get a lift when I first bought my jeep I would have put anything that was cheap but my wife was like no get the best one so we don't have to change it 3 times. 
So I went for the long arm kit
I love my wife

Hey thanks everyone for the great information. Ha ha I knew I was gonna get the 35" lecture. I know that should most likely be the way to go so maybe I should take a back seat for a little while and save some more money up. Rocker guards are definitly on my list along with the JKS disco. Those have now been added to the master list along with the front and rear adjustable track bars. Please keep the ideas coming all this advice (and peer pressure
) really helps a newbie out.

On a side note, I just ordered the U connect Mic and Dodge Nitro Amp so I will keep you posted on how those turn out. I am really excited to get those sound bar speakers (I am getting new ones) working at full range.

Go with the BFG kM2s everyone I talk to loves them. I allmost went 33s but decided to go 35s now I wish I went 37s. I would say if your not going for the bling look go with 15 in steel wheels $100 a piece and the tires in 15s are a lot cheaper.

Do the above, sans tires, and see how much it drops, now you will know just how high a lifet you really want/need with wheels and tires to match, but don't forget the shocks!

Thanks everyone for the help. I am going to take another month of overtime and get it all done correctly. When the time comes I will host a build party because I will definitely need some help with everything. BBQ, Pizza and cold uuuhhhh sodas are all on me. I have access to Huntington Beach High School's Auto Shop and also Garden Grove's Auto Shop. Maybe we can make it a daylong event for people who are also in need of lifts and pneumatic tools?
