Default Nevada xj to florida xj

K I'm moving from nevada to Florida this summer! So. I'm going to sell my jeep I have now cuz it just won't make it in the swamps(2wd) so I'm gonna make my ultimate dream jeep! just don't know what color or lift/tires. Thinking 4.5-5.5" lift an 32" tires. Color(idk which): silver, gold(tan), the weird gunmetal blue or what ever it is, black, green. Or any other suggestions I like I'm thinking 2door. If u could put what u think I should do an maybe some pics? Here's what I have now 3" 30" tires

Good luck with the move. Whereabouts in Florida? I've got a Steel Blue XJ. It's lifted 4.5 inches, although it sits a little higher. Right now it's on 265/75 r16's which are basically 32's. Here's a picture of what it looks like right now.

Thanks man. Yea, the lift is 4.5 inches, but I have a 1" spacer in the front because the rear sat too high. Now it's pretty level.

IRO's 5.5" kit comes with 3.5" leaf packs and 1-1.5" lift shackles. Most you can get is 5" lift in the rear. They have a 5.5" leaf pack that sells with their 6.5" lift kit.

Where in Nevada are you? I am in Vegas.
