Need recommendation for a 2.5 lift - don't want to change handling - just want more clearance and bigger tires.

I'm new to this myself as I just purchased my first jeep a couple weeks ago. However, I have been researching this a bit. I am also looking for a 2.5" lift. All the research I have done is leading me to believe that Clayton Off Road makes a top notch lift system. Also, I have heard that the newer wranglers start to see premature component failures in the long term when running tires larger than 33's. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that statement, but it was seconded by a VERY reputable offroad shop in my area. I am not claiming I know anything about lifting jeeps, I am merely offering up some information that I have come across in my research. I am sure there will be those that disagree. I hope this helps, or at least gets the conversation going for you.
