Welcome to the forum! And it all depends on what kind of wheeling your rig will be doing. And what kind of budget are you working with also?

i personally have a 6.5 on 36s and i use it as my daily but if your going that high usually you would want the slip yoke eliminator witch is just more money but i wheel mine pretty hard but i think a 4.5 inch lift made by rough country would be your best bet then some 31x11.5 tires would look sick if your using it as just a daily but also wanna be able to mess around i would get some BFG all terrains, nice agressive tred and great on the road and no you wouldn't need a slip yoke with a 4.5 inch lift

I've decided to go with the 4.5 rough country flex, on 17x9 wheels and falken rocky mountain tires , you all think Thats doable? ?

What size tires you wanting to get. I myself have a 98 sport and I got the RE 3.5 lift on 31s. Now iv heard from quite a bit of people that you need a SYE & driveshaft for that lift. I'm planning on getting one just to be safe and because the face that I know that I will be going higher in the future.

why spend more money for 17" rims when you can get 15" rims for way cheaper.. not to mention for every inch the rim gets bigger, tires get that much more expensive. my suggestion would be to go 4.5" lift on 33x12.50x15 tires of your choice, on a 15x8 rim.
