Question. What kind of wheels and backspacing do you have now? and are the tires going to be 12.5 inches wide or 10.5?

there is a wrangler running around town that looks to be stock sus, but had like at least 33x1550's... its an odd look. if it was up like 5 or inches it would look better, but those big *** tires stuffed ion there doesnt seem right to me...

x2. the biger tire you can get under the least amount of lift (for seriousl wheelers anyway) is best. because your tire is what gives your diffrenetials lift. the suspention lift raises the vehicle for bigger tires (and yes it gives more flex)

I kinda disagree with this, adding a lift does not give you flex. Shocks, brake line length and binding in other components is what gives you flex.

Think of it this way, your tire can only go so far up no matter what lift you have. Lifts do help you get the flex because they have less bind and longer shocks. Putting on long arms with long *** brake lines on a stock height rig would flex just as much as a lifted rig.
