im currently at 2" with standard size tires but am thinking about going to 4" with bigger tires? is it worth the money? with all the extras i would need for such a big lift and would it make my day to day drive, undriveable ?

Depending how much you use it off road I'd say no stick with the 2" lift
If you go bigger and bigger tyres then your guna need a rock lobster

Hi Haydon, stick with the 2" lift just get some 205 or 215/75/15 M/T or A/T this will save you fitting a lobster box , and you can still use it as your daily drive.

I really like my 4.5" lift with 31" tyres and use it as a daily drive, but I think I enjoyed driving it off-road more when it was lower and on 215/75/15" tyres and it was just as able. Grounding out in deep ruts at pay and play sites was the main reason for me going higher. If you can live with the extra cost of the higher lift and everything that goes with it, I'd say go for it, but if you don't you'll still have a great off-road vehicle so you can't lose really.
