Default Tyre hitting guards - Lift Kit??

Hi all,

I have recently started buying more and more toys to bolt to the Jeep. Currently I am running stock everything, apart from 33" tyres.

I have added a roof top tent, roof rack, and now a jetski. When I have all of this loaded up I am hitting the guards at highway speeds when there is a dip in the road, to the point where i have now broken the clips to hold the back right guard on. Without all of this loaded up, I have no issues.

My question, what is the best option here to add clearance? I do only very light off-roading a few times a year. I don't currently do any rock crawling or extreme trails (but not against it in the future).

Lift kits are obviously an option, however for the cost and also the effects it may have on daily driving (97% of driving is to an from work), I feel this may be overkill or may lead to poor on road performance.

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go here?

Cheers
