New member with a new to me Jeep seeking advice

[JMT]

Hello all, so excited to be a Jeep owner and joining this community. The Jeep we purchased is completely stock and garage kept. I'm interested in getting some advice about lifting the Jeep and will also increase the stock tire size. I'm not looking to compete at the Jeep fest rally's just want it to look like a Jeep and not a car.(it's sooo low). Most of our time will be driving on dirt roads in North Ga, Tennessee and North Carolina and doing some (basic) trails. I would like to hear about brands, reliability, for anywhere from 1" to 3.5" lifts plus the increased tire size. Thanks in advance

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

OME springs, Rancho 5000x shocks
4” backspacing

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