Good looking jeep, make it how you want. How big of tires do you want? How tall do you want it to sit? What kind of offroading do you do?

Well how much higher you want to go? It already appears to have 3"-4" of lift.

Go read some threads man. Read read read. We can't tell you what suspension you want. Go research, then come back with some educated/specific questions.
