Welcome to the forum. That truck looks like a nice base for a bunch of mods.

4x4? how high are you wanting to lift her up? with just a level you could fit some 33's functionally under there, i would recommend a 17" rim as well.
give us some more info on your new baby

then with just a level, you can fit 35's but youll have not room for articulation. 33's IMO are perfect with a level, or you can drop some $$ and get a real lift kit and throw some big meats on there. i really suggest 17'' rims if you do any off-roading as 20's are for pavement queens

Welcome aboard... Nice WJ you had there. Got one myself with the 4.7 HO in it, I've been tinkering with a little bit when I'm not working on my truck:
