I have tons of clearance with a 2.5" spring lift and a 1/2" extra from
YJ shackles. When I change my frame, I am dumping the longer shackles,
they cause me to eat a lot of u-joints over the years because they throw
the driveshaft geometry off a bit and I am not interested in dicking
around with shims to try and set it back stock.

A rule of thumb for 33s, 2.5" for CJs, 4" for YJs. (YJs have less wheelhouse
clearance, particularly in the rear, whioch is why we all convert to TJ
flares.)

While on a CJ you can clear 33s with a good 2.5" lift, you will get some
rubbing if you don't extend the bump stops about 1". IMHOyou're better off
with a good 3 - 4" kit.A fantastic unit for CJs is the Rubicon 4.5" Extreme
Duty kit. It esentially uses the YJ E.D. springs, which are 2.5" wide front
& rear. I comes with adapted front shackles, spring plates, etc. Pricey.
