Also depends on what you do with the lift,
only use springs nothing else, or springs, clevis, top plate etc.
Bumpstops
you'll need front and rear to save tearing off the flares, possibly up to 3 inches for the rear
New OME springs and Koni shocks, front teraflex bumpstops. Wasn't doing a clevis or anything until it settled down. I've already thrown the wheels out of the equation, but the tire size I wanted to keep.

Currently, mine rub the inner fender liner, the pinch weld slightly, and are a fraction of an inch away from rubbing the air dam up front.
If you decrease your backspacing from the stock 5.5" to 4.5"...you are pushing the edge of the tire that much farther out. So in my case, my tire would thrash my pinch weld and my air dam to bits in no time at all. The inner liner would not rub anymore....but the stuff outside would rub worse. It's all a game of geometry.
Now...having said that, I've only got about 2" of lift at most. If you lift yours...you might end up with 2.5" since you have a gas KJ. I'm not for certain if that will make a big difference or not, but it could.
I guess the main thing I'm trying to say is, take some measurements and be sure before you buy your wheels and tires. I'd lift it and then see where you are with your new tires....THEN get wheels after you can get measurements...but that is only my opinion.
Yea I'm already beginning to plan for just tires and go from there.
