I am with xjjeeper i am on a 4.5 and 33s could not be happier for bein a dd. Mine is a rustys lift. People say bad things about rustys because it is on the cheaper side but i have no issues so far. Rough country is also a affordable lift and go od products. Another good one is rubicon express but is i think a bit more on the expensive side. Let me know if i am wrong.

I would get front tow hooks and a tow hitch for recovery points before you get a lift...

If it's a pavement pounder what does it matter?

Ok thanks for all the advice, I think three to four inches is what I am lookin for. I want to be able to use it for normal everyday use but I want to be able to take it off road for some fun too.
