get the 35's... i got 35's and 2.5" lift for my DD Rubicon and love it. i haven't regeared yet, but if ou ever get the chance to go up to houston you can get it done for $800-950. that's what i'm going to do, later on.. i've been driving mine with 35's for almost 2 years now

here's a pic from when it first got new shoes and lifted...since then i've added bumpers and a winch

yeA my lil bro has 33" on his tj and he says for me to go with 35"
I prob will go with the 35" and for now just run the flashpaq and regear later....
and I wouldnt mind regearing for $900
The guys at cbc offroad harlingen charge 1200

So mike you think you can measure your clearance (height) on your jeep....I need to clear 80" for my garage....Im thinking 35" and 3.25 rough country... that way if I cant clear it I can go with the 2.5

roads behind my dads ranch yesterday....

i measured about 75" to the top and 79" to the top of the antenna. mine always hit the antenna. no remember, i got a heavy front bumper and and rancho in the back (soon to be RR). it will be a tight fit. but if you're going to put bumpers on, that should lower it some..

hope that helps..

hey guys.. i might be getting the rugged ridge rear bumper and tire carrier setup in a week or so....

so if i do, i will have a rancho rear bumper tire carrier and if you want the stock corners to give it a finished look up for sale. i think it's like a year old, i can't remember, lol. new these things run $400, i'm wanting to get $200.

so if you need a tire carrier to get that big ass tire off your gate and don't want to spend much, let me know.
oh, and i have 5 rubi rims with tpms ~$500 or make offer

here's some pics of it on my jeep...
