Trailgunner 2.5" lift (similar to an OME). the guy who sells it also has tires (33x12.50r15 I'd assume, I like Dayton Timberline MT's myself) and wheels. And he knows what will fit together.

And if he want's more lift, get a Mountain Offroad body lift (and maybe a MML too), thay wont effect the suspension at all, so it will still warenty ok.

Not performance parts but with a lift 2 & above you may want to looks at:

Replacing Steering Stabilizer
Replacing front stock track bar with a adjustable track bar -

USE CAUTION when lifting a JK above 2"
when you do it moves the steering wheel off center
the traction control thinks that you are not going strait and trys to push the wheel back from time to time

Just what I got from the local shop that does the lifts for the local dealer

Did they try adjusting the steering wheel by adjusting the turnbuckle on the draglink? The other possible cause for this could be as stated above, you need an adjustable track bar to recenter the axle. Same thing can happen on lifted TJ's (well except for the traction control thing).

You have to center the steering wheel on a 2 inch lift also.
15 minute job adusting the turnbuckle like Chefdab said.

TeraFlex 2.5 lift
35x12.50R17 ProComp Extreme MudTerrain Tires
ProComp 17" Alloy Wheels (lots of styles available)
Just recenter steering wheel and the ESP is fine.
