What you do now will determine what you can do later. Most will pick a tire size and build around that. Have you read

https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...-tj-lj-and-other-re-gearing-faqs.17063/unreadYou don't need to go all out on the most expensive lift for your needs, but you'll definitely want to follow the recommended lift height and gearing for 32's. As long as you follow the above, quality shocks with appropriate travel bias and properly set up bump stops for your rig will allow you to "catch some speed" without tearing shit up.
