Everyone is telling me to go with 35's for my 2 door, even friends who are running 37-40" tires. It's about a $300 difference between the two and I forgot to mention that I have built axles(truss and gussets) and a diablosport predator tuning system. I'm just torn bc I don't want to go with 35's and want 37's and I don't want to jump to 37's if they are too much for what I want and need to regear bc I do not want that by any means.

The reason I said 35's for 2dr and 37's for 4dr is because a 4dr needs to have 37's to be equivalent to a 2dr on 35's to run the same trail.

I finally hooked up one of my blitzpro lights from the contest in the rear off your jerry can mount.... Somehow I shorted out a wire and caught the jeep on fire... I yanked the neg battery cable right off and stopped it but MAN it STUNK! lol nothing was damaged and I just replaced one wire and was good as new... Turned out when I put the switch in a cap fell off a wire and it rested on the metal frame inside the dash so when I connected the battery, BZZZZZZZ! But everything works A OK now!

Then 35's all the way if you don't want to regear.... The guy a few posts before said he ran 37's without regearing FOR A WHILE and didn't mind it leading us to believe he eventually regeared with 37's. If you don't want regear then 35's look great especially on your 2 door PLUS even with your built up axles the 37's will put more strain on everything else as well. I'd go 35's IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE DEBATING 33's or 35's when most regret 33's then move up to 35's lol..... 35's are a perfect fit and look..... Good luck

Here are a couple pics taken from another site that shows exactly what I did. You need a dow rod from Lowes and a few zip ties. It kind of hard to explain but these should show you.
