Id lift it and cram some 32's or 33's under it, then spend whatever change was left on enough beer and gas to get me through the next weekend wheelin and camping :)

A 4" spring-under lift, 33" tires, and regear the axles, with a locker or two with the change.

And then you should be able to follow me in my YJ that I lifted, locked, and put larger tires on for about $200

With a 4 banger I would go with a 3.5" Rough Country or other quality brand of Lift and a set of Argessive 31's. This is being said cause you will loose much of the already alloted power to turn any thing bigger. I know I will get pounced on for this one but you ask and I am given you the smartest not the coolest way to go. I did this mod set up to a 87 yj and with that small change 5th gear was only for coasting at full throttle down hill on the hwy's. Off road it was a good set up for me andthe type trails I ride. Could not start to think what anything bigger would have been like on the 4 banger. Of course if you plan to regear and all of that good stuff go bigger! But with 2K to spend you aint going to do to much more than that. Just my 2 cent's tug

Rough Country Lift - $425 shipped (self-install)
Alloy Wheels w/ proper backspacing - $400 Meats - $700 installed on new wheels Rear Ez-Locker - $250 (self-install) Leftover is for the gas. Re-gearing would be another $400 if you can do it yourself. C

I agree with HI C But to save in the cost
go with 32" tires $500 keep your rims! freebie! (he already has aftermarket wheels) Re-gear to 4:56, and have some one do it $600-$800 (depends on shop) Buy Johnny Some beer cause he is gonna put your lift in! (coors light)
