4.5" with 33's for me... Looks good and keeps you in a area where breaking parts isn't much of a issue..

if i had all that money i would do 8 inches of lift with either a set of 37's or a set of 38's with full width 44's which in about a year and a half is what im doing with a comanche. oh and it would be a long arm. and on either my cherokee or on a comanche. oh and some 5.13's.

for a crawler, 3" and 37's

for a desert runner, 5" and 35's

im trying to find a happy medium with my rig, and Im going from 2.5" and 37's to 4.5" in rear and adjustable height in front from 3-6 all on 36" tires, if the right deal comes along i'll get 2 sets of more purpose suited tires

theres no full width 44 rear, I would advise against one in back anyway on larger than 35" tires. you can build up a 60, 9" or 14bolt for just as much money and have a much more stout axle.

The trick is to trim and bumpstop, nothing more. I have my suspension tuned for stability and droop.
