It all depends on how high you wanna go and how much you wanna spend.

I went with a Kevins Offroad 2.75" budget boost and added a set of Up Country Springs. That gave me ~3.5-4" of lift.

to get about 3.5 to 4 inches the cheap way is to do a front to back swap. then just get a set of 4.5 front coils and shocks. then you can atleast fit a set of 31's.

it's harder to fit 33's on a grand, it will take a lot of trimming and more lift than an xj.
with a tj, you only need 2 inch spacers to fit 33's.
