yea you gotta regear your axles and that costs over a grand. and even if i did a 6.5 inch lift i would still put 35s on it. so i think im just going to keep the 4.5inch lift

4.5 is fine for 35's. i like the look of tj flares after you trim also.
heres mine at 3 with 35's and tj flares
and then with about 5.5 (hope it will settle to 4.5 once i get bumpers and armor)

I know the advantages of keeping it low, he just said he had an unlimited budget. But hey the main thing was the Tire and wheel package. That's what I would run on the setup.

Here's the advantage - when you air down a tire you lose ground clearance under the axle. Your tires while have the stance of a fully inflated 33 but they will preform a hell of a lot better. Stuans beadlocks give you more ground clearance to the internal tube in them so they preform just as well but with about .5" more ground clearance vs. external bead lock rims. Now with 15 vs 17's your adding 2" on a rim size it adds an additional 1" to your ground clearance under the axle. A little more money but if you got the right budget it's the route I would go. I'll try to find a pic and post it up to visually show what I'm talking about.
