4 inches of lift is way too much for 33s, especially when you can fit most 33s with no lift at all.

Here's a 2-door with 3-inch HD coils in the front and 3.25-inch coils in the rear...

33s, 3" lift, 3/4" spacer up front...

I would consider just going for 35's the really fill out the 2drs! But if 33's fit your fancy go for it!:D

35s are sort of the tipping point when modifying a JK on a budget. If you do any highway driving at high altitude it is practically a necessity to regear, which costs about $1100 to have done at a reputable shop. Plus 35s only provide an inch more clearance under the axles and diffs than 33s.

What I'm wondering is which has a greater effect on the seat-of-the-pants feel when you accelerate... Is it the added weight of larger tires that slows you down, or the torque-reducing larger diameter? I know it's a combination of both, but which slows you down more? Would a lightweight 35" tire bog down a Jeep the same as a heavy 33" tire? :hmm:

Ryno thanks for the pics, exactly what I was looking for too....

I honestly dig the look, I've been contemplating 33's or 35's ? ...as I'm about to FINALLY put in my 3" BD lift and regearing is a little too pricey for me right now...I think 3" with 33's looks pretty alright, and I should be able to manage with the stock gears
good post
