Good choice Furian. With cut out flares you can fit 40"s without a lift. That looks cool for the street, however, it will not allow for articulation off road. 4" lift will do the job. I broke 4" rancheros in Moab --- drove it all the way home without noticing. I now run a set of custom Deaver springs (fabulous!!!!) with 6" of lift which gave me enough room for dynatrac's high steer kit.
Good luck and keep me posted. I'll be back in Moab in a couple of weeks and colorado in late summer.

The pics in your gallery... are they reflective of the 4" lift or the current 6" lift? I've been looking at the Icon 4.5" or 7" lift kits and do plan to get either the 5" or 8" rear springs, which I believe are made by Deaver. I do NOT want to do a lift kit a 2nd time. If I think that I'll ever need to go higher I want to take that into consideration the 1st time.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the delay. Those photos are with the 4" suspension. You will find that limiting. Especially if you work on steering improvements. I have some real information for you. To speed up the process, just email me directly at rspriestley@ra.rockwell.com

Pics are always good! Specifically, I would like to see how much clearance you have between the tires and front and rear fenders. Also, what height Icon lift do you recommend... 4.5", 5.5", or 7"?
