Default Lift kit
How high should I lift my jeep without it looking dumb? I'm thinking 3.5"

Depends on tire size and personal opinion on what looking dumb looks like.

If you're going with a 3.5 lift go with 31's! 30's are going to look to small

You could fit some 32s (or maybe even some 33s) under a 3.5" with proper trimming/backspacing/bumpstopping.

But like Gee said, it's really personal opinion

Determine your budget, then go from there.

Done right you can have 31s on no lift.

With stock fender 31s are a good size. I dont think trim is needed. With 3.5 lift

So your doing this for looks and not function?

Trim the fenders, there will be space.
