mine is 4.5" with 33x12.50. I think its great, but trimming is definitely necessary. you will only be able to turn the wheel ~25% of the way either direction, makes it pretty tough to get anywhere. depends on your offset of course, but no matter what you will need to trim

PS: there is no "best" lift. it all depends on what you plan to do. what kind of wheeling are you interested in?
