What is the largest tire you can put on a stock jeep and the largest on a mild lifted Jeep.
Before I lifted my Jeep I squeezed a set of 33's under it stock, I had to trim the fenders a bit tho. Seeing that you want to take it off roading a bit, I wouldn't go any bigger than a set of 31's (ish) which would allow room for flex.

As for tires after the lift, 33's and 35's are the most common. With a 3" lift I would stick with 33's.... 35's if you got yourself a set of flat flares or something that allows more room.

And as for type of lift... spend the extra money and buy a Rubicon Express... they wont let you down and the ride is unbeatable. (In my opinion)

Also, when going that big on tire size it is usually a good idea to upgrade your rear. 35's on a dana 35 is a ticking time bomb.

Well I'm not exactly sure what rear you have in the Jeep, but more than likely it is a Dana 35, unless you have a Rubicon then it will be a Dana 44. Most people believe 33's are the limit with a dana 35.. It will hold up for daily driving but If you get into some decent off roading you run risk of a break. I ran a dana 35 with 35" tires for a long time, some people get lucky.

As for what rear to look for.. the dana 44 and Ford 8.8 are the most common swap. The Ford 8.8 is probably the cheapest route and can be found just about anywhere. The Ford 8.8 also comes with disk brakes which is also nice. There is plenty of threads on here about an 8.8 swap.
