3 to 4 inch would be good, with 31 or 32" tires. I daily drive mine on 5" and 33's though. Rubicon Express is good, a little pricey. Go for full leaf packs in the rear, dont do add-a-leaf or blocks. Rough Country aint bad at all either, they usually run good deals every month. Shop around, look at reviews, check out what other people run here. You'll have it lifted in no time!

there are a few places out there selling the 3.5 inch lifts that are good r.e. and r.c. are very nice lifts but the r.c. lifts are normally cheaper so if you are tight on money that is a good way to go.

I have the 3 Inch RC on mine with the full leaf kit, I love it. It was a reasonable price and I put everything on myself.
