Lift

[vandok13]

I am looking to lift my jeep, i want to fit about a 32" tire underneath, Its a 2006 TJ, How big of a lift would i need so no rubbing would occur?and would i have to mod all the drive terrain with the suitable size lift because i think the driveshaft would be on a pretty gross angle pretty fast

Have you looked here yet? Also a good place to post the question

I currenlty have 33" tires with a 3" lift. At times I get fender rub and have disfiguration in my fenders. I am going to install a 1" body lift to help this.

If you decied to lift my opinion is to go with about 4" lift or 3" lift with a 1" body lift. When you install the 4" lift you will need to lower the transfer case to reduce the driveshaft angle. Using a 3" and body lift you will also need to lower the transfer case and the rediator (or install a motor mount lift instead).
The driveshaft angle should not be all that bad unless you are planning on HARD rock hopping trails.

I had a 3" body lift on my 99' with to issues really. I had 33x12.50 Kuhmo mud terrains on it and I only noticed any rubbing at a full turn of the steering wheel. With a body lift you get 3"(or how ever many advertised inches) of tire clearance. With suspension lifts the actual lift may be more or less than what is advertised dependind on what is included in the lift. Body lifts are good if you only plan on going off road occasionally, remember your suspension is still stock. Suspenion lifts usually are more performance oriented and will flex better offroad. I bought my Jeep with the body lift already installed. For a 32" tire you may look into a coil spring spacer kit (about 1.5"-2") and possibly about a 1" body lift. This setup is not the "best" way to achieve lift, but it's cheap and effective. It also is not going to hurt anything driveline wise, just don't expect massive amounts of suspension articulation.
