2" and 32s

I'll probably go up to 33s when I build my rear axle and maybe another .5-1". What I've got is plenty, if I wanted to go bigger I'd convert the rear to coils, comp cut, and go with 37s+ and maintain a low CoG. For the work and money involved in more than a BB it doesn't seem worth it not to go big.

I'm happy with where I'm at for $150 between the tires and lift without spending $1000+ on 3-4" lift, regearing, SYE, ect.

How are they figuring 2"? Lift height or overall height including tires?

I have 2" spacer on the front. It rides the same as stock. I have 1.5" shackles in the back and they're fine. My leaves soon had negative curve on them after I put the shackles on. I had 2" blocks on my last xj and they were sketchy
