Ok, i've asked questions about this and that but i still cant decide on whati want. I have an 07 Jk unlimited X. I like the looks of 35's on a 2.5" lift. I do not do extreme wheeling. I mostly take a trail up a mountain to find a good native trout hole or go to the river and my jeep is a daily driver that i dont drive that much since im a deputy.


I want yall's honest opinion on what would be best for me. Can you help me out. Please!

Im running 35's and with 4.10's you should be fine without regearing. Most people choose to do it eventually and of course it will bring the power back, but IMHO its not a necessity. Mine is a DD and the 2.5" TF coil lift adds more than enough lift for 99% of the wheeling people will be doing, all around its a great kit.

Thats true. I just found a good deal on 5 325/65r17's mounted and balanced for $1300. I think thats a 35x13.5. Think i might need spacers for them, right?

Yep. I believe the stock X wheels have 6.25" BS so you will need spacers to run a tire that wide.
