First question. Why do you want to lift it?

Leave it factory hight. Slap some good 31's or 33's on it and have fun. My 2 cents

A DD/light trails? Just raise the rear to level it. Then some quality 31" all-terrains.
Ya got a solid, capable daily.

Agree with above. Do a 2" if you must lift it, but put your money into armor will be much more worth it.

Like everyone said, don't waste money on 5" lift for ifs (shudder)

Buy 31" mud terrains or aggressive all terrains. Get rock sliders installed. Perhaps get a rear bumper or at least tow hitch so you have a real rear recovery point. A major upgrade would be a rear lunchbox locker. Get simple recovery equipment and know how to use it. Another simple upgrade is a cb radio or any trail comm device.
