what are you try to do with it, go mudding, rock crawing, mall crawler. also what size tires do you want to run and is it your dd? if you just want to make it look cool on the road with light trails leave it stock or do a budget boost and run 31" tires

2"-3" would be good if you don't want to do too much work, but still be able to hit up some tough trails.

3" and 31's would be perfect for you maybe even throw in a locker in the rear. you can hang with pretty much most jeeps out there...

i would suggest a 2 inch with 31s just to save some money. but i would go with the rustys offroad 2 inch bb with full coils and add a leaf, much better ride and offroad capability then coil spacers and shackles.

Buy a hitch,
my brother was rear ended in my jeep, the guy that hit him totalled his blazer,
my jeep had a few scratches and the liftgate was jammed.
safty reasons
And if you can get it 3"-3.5"
i have a 4" with 31" tires and i love the look, i also have a 98 sport
()I saw someone who painted those rims you have black and it looked pretty nice()
