Best all around suspension lift, transmission, gear ratio

Hey folks! Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I would like to get opinions on the best suspension lift (to put 33" tires), and the best transmission/gear ratio to use for highway and off road.

I am looking for the best fuel mileage/power and something that will allow me to do some crawling as well. If such a thing exists.

Oh ya...might help if I tell ya that it's for a 1985 CJ7 eh?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Best all around suspension lift, transmission, gear ratio

I noticed you didn't get any respond to your question. Try telling us what engine is in it like 2.4, or 4 lit and what gears are in it now. Might be able to give a better suggestion in what direction to go. And do keep in mind what "beserkur" said about fuel mileage.. he ain't telling you no lie.
