I drive a stock 05 wrangler unlimited automatic. stock 30X9.5R15LT tires and I am looking to fit 33's with a lift. I don't 4wheel often (about 2-3 times a year) and its my daily driver. What are the best way to accomplish this?

2.5-3.5" lift.. anything larger creates many more costly mods besides just a lift.

I run 34" trXus under a 2.5" rancho Hd lift with 3/4" longer bumpstops.




heres a link to some OME kits.. many consider them among the best riding.

another way to go is 2" spring spacers and 32" rubber to minimize the amount of mods needed.

Just remember even with 33's it will take a big performance hit and take on slug like qualities if you do not regear it. You are going to take a MPG hit too from more drag. I would suggest that if it is a daily driver I would go with 31's as it will have less performance impact with stock gears and axles will be pretty bullet proof with 31's too as 33's are getting into the "grey" area with those axles.
