I recently purchased a 92 wrangler sahara as a fun summer toy! It is in great shape and pretty much stock! I would like to lift it and put larger tires on it, but i do not want to go as far as replacing brake lines and things of this sort! What is a good lift direction, leaf springs, body lift? And what are the largest tires i can go with a simple lift and possible spacers? Thanks for the help in advance!

I wouldn't go higher than 1" body lift, then maybe a full-length add-a-leaf kit. You can make the AAL kit from a used pair of front stock springs. The 1" BL can be made for about $25.
Also consider installing TJ fender flares. Requires a little fender trimming but the end result is nice and allows larger tires.

Hey, this certainly isn't the definative source for options or possibilities but it will give you a good idea of different ways you can go...it is the Lift Advisor from Quadratec.

Hey i just put some 31 on my stock 04x. il try to upload some pics so you can see it. personally i want more but that's probably cause im young.
I did some research and found the rubicon express budget booster, its a 2" suspension lift that will not require brake line extentions or any extra work, at least not for me- it might for the older jeeps.

ha cool it worked!
yea thats just new tires and rims, no lift
It provides enough clearance for fun and is still good on the highway, at least as good as a jeep will be.

I am thinking about 31's or 33's. I want it to look as beefy as possible without sacrificing too much on the daily drive.
I am thinking about 3-4 inch lift.
I like the quadratec set ups, and i found a few in JC Whitney that look good.
As far as wheeling, i am pretty much going to use this as a weekend warrior. There is not a whole lot of trails where i live unless i drive a good two to three hours away.
I have a bike that i ride a bit in the summer, but i will be driving this jeep a lot in the summer. I want to try to keep the miles off of my other car. Plus why have a jeep if you don't pop the top and enjoy the air!!!
I like this look! My 92 is very similar to this color and this it pretty much the look i am looking for! Thanks for the pics! Jeep looks great!
I think this one is the winner!

Not sure what part of Maryland your from,but from Baltimore to rausch creek orv is about 2 hours.Well worth and they provide camping places make a weekend out of it.
I am near Bel Air. I was looking at a few local 4wd clubs and a lot of them have rausch creek listed! Once i am done my lift i will have to check this place out!
