2.5” and 32’s works well.
2.5” +1.25” and 33’s is a tried and true formula.

I never liked mine. It showed every scratch from the tires throwing up rocks. Not sure why.

I would wheel it like it is, then solve the problems for where you are wheeling.
If you are staying light to moderate trails then 33's will be more than sufficient to do all you want and still have a lot of fun doing it. 35's are a great size as well, and if you have a manual work pretty well with rubicon 4:10s.
The bigger the tires on light trails... the less fun.
Priorities for me if starting over:
1) Steel, solid, actual rock sliders to protect my sides.
2) Stubby steel bumper with solid recovery points, and a good winch.
3) High clearance rear bumper with solid recovery points.
4) Tummy Tuck (get rid of the shovel), with SYE, and transfer case shift cable, and either Adams or Woods drive shafts.
5) Oil tank skid, steer box skid.
6) High clearance / high capacity gas tank / with solid skid.
7) JL control arm swap (or Savvy mid arm if you have the $$$)
8) WJ knuckle swap
Lockers, lights and other luxuries would be way down the line, after lots of wheeling.
