I'll go along with that, too. When you decide to get 33s, a 4" lift works
perfectly. As for the 33x9.5, it's a great size. It works well in most
conditions and you don't have to worry so much about rubbing and wide
flares.

Procomp offers a 2 inch suspension lift for you Jeep that is pretty
reasonable. That's enough to run the 32" tires. Also, if you want later on
you can add the 2" spacer lift and up the tires to 33's. You could run the
spacer lift now then upgrade the suspension later on too. Anyway, I would
stay away from the body lift unless you go with a 1". I don't think I'd go
with anything larger than that on a TJ. They look funny to me.

I think narrow tires have better traction, within reason, in mud and snow
at least...

Mebbe, 'cept if that was the direction you'd be going, I'd do the spacer
lift first. Then, when you want to go up you've only invested a couple C
notes. Who knows, by then you'll probably be wanting that 4"
suspension lift anyhoo...
