No one here is going to recommend anything over a 1.25" body lift. The taller body lifts look bad and introduce more lateral forces at the mounting locations.
Along with W.Dog said concerning the height, you can also either expect to have to relocate the fan shroud or do a motor mount lift in conjunction with the BL. One or the other.
I'd avoid any 2" or 3" body lift, they just cause too many problems and installations are not easy for that much body lift. You would end up needing to make the fuel line longer or use an extender, tweak the transfer case and transmission shifters to make them work right, etc. Stick with nothing bigger than a 1" or, at the most, 1.25". I personally would stick with a basic 1" body lift kit like from Performance Accessories. Body lifts are butt-simple and there's no such thing as getting more if you pay more.
Here's a picture of mine with 3" BL that PO installed. I hate the way it looks and I swear I can feel the body moving in certain situations. Everything works but I plan on losing the body lift completely or dropping to a 1".
This is what the Zone 1.25" BL will look like. (I have the Combo kit) You can see the 1.25" gap between the rear bumper and tub as well as the 1.25" gap between the frame and inner plastic liner.
2 1/2 " OME lift. 1 1/4" body lift. 33x 12.50r15's and trimmed factory fenders. Proper bump stops and it performs and handles great on the road and on the rocks.
