What do you use your Jeep for? Do you wheel it? The more info you provide about your intended use and budget, the better recommendations you'll get.
2.5-3.5” lift
Adjustable control arms
Adjustable track bars and bracket
I’d replace u joints and ball joints while you’re at it.

On the 2005 LJ Rubican with 42RLE, I run Cooper 265/75-16's (32in) on a 3inch springs lift with stock control arms.
Goes everywhere in the deserts out here in the west.
I do not do rock crawling just exploring.

Just for reference, this is a 2” body lift and a 4.5” long arm lift running 315/75-16’s (35’s)
It’s a bit tall, IMO, but big 35’s tuck well and never rub. Could probably easily run 37’s size-wise, though drivetrain wouldn’t like it…lol.

3 1/2 inch suspension with 33’s and a cat.
All depends on how you're going to use it.
I daily drive my 2000. Camp out of it two or three times a month. No crawling, but tons of dirt, soft outer beach sand, rocky fire access roads.
33x12.5, 3" spring lift, 3/4" leveling puck up front, no body lift. Upgraded track bars, Currie CorrectLync, JKS J-Link fixed control arms..
Zero issues and great on-road performance.
After reading your comments and threads you sent. What do you guys think about a 2” suspension lift and a 1” body lift for 3” total for 33” tires. Would this be the most durable and affordable combo? I do over landing with some larger climbs. Also have the 4 banger not 4.0L. What do you guys recommend?
Daily drive on roads and overland on medium trails no rock crawling but some intense beaten up trails that take some skill
Sticking with 31s unless it's regeared properly.
What @TheBoogieman said.
You're likely to be very unhappy and under powered with 33's and the 2.5l.
What gearing do you have now? For reference, my 4.0 had 33's with stock 3.73s. It was underwhelming on the highway (any hills and the least amount of head wind and I might as just pull over) and an absolute pig when loaded up with camping gear... And I pack very light. Regeared to 4.56s and life is good.
My cat does the same thing and it drives me crazy. Then I started putting towels and blankets on the front bumper, fenders and hood. They know they will slip and fall if their nails grab the towels. They can still jump onto the spare tire and get to the hardtop from there but atleast my bodywork isn't getting scratched.
