The black Jeep is the modded one mentioned above -- the red is mine.

Also if someone could give me a ballpark idea of what it'd cost to get this done that's be great!


Thanks in advance for the help. Looking forward to reading the discussion.
35" tires with a 2.5" lift kit will still looks great!

Welcome aboard.
Thanks! It's auto. I honestly don't know what the ratio is. It was previously my father-in-law's.

The easiest way to find all the specs is to email your VIN over to customer support at jeep.com and they will provide the build sheet.

Regardless, you would likely want to regear the Jeep if you went with a tire larger than 33". Parts and labor range from about $1200-$2000 depending on where you live.

Go to jeep.com on a computer and register your jeep with the vin number and it will show everything you need to know that's what I did.

My before and after, and roughly $6k later.


Those are 35s on 2.5" lift. Steel bumpers probably sag it a bit as well.
