I just got my Jeeps lift and tires finished today... Went with 35"s and have absolutely no regrets. It drives great looks beastly and I love it. I dont think you will regret 35"s.

Since I've got a 2-door, I went with the puck version. Talked to the TeraFlex rep, and he said that that was good for the 2-door. The 4-doors will seem to benefit more from the coil version than the 2-drs will.

I just got 35"s last month. Love THEM
I have 3.73's and seriously I don't notice that much of a difference. I DO plan to re-gear probably to 5.13's when I save up. But, after reading everyone on the forum saying to go with the 35's- I did- and you need to TOO!

Which Toyos??? M/Ts? I have the 295/70/17 Toyo M/Ts and a 2" BB plus 4 door Rubi shox. I like the Toyos a lot, they're great on the street, wear really well, and kick ass on the rocks. However, they do tend to pack up with mud and they are very heavy. No matter what though, any of the more 'aggressive' (relative term) Toyos will be better than Duratrax

For Toyo Tires, concerning Jeeps and trucks there are the Toyo open country AT and MT. the AT is the same thing as the nitto terra grapplers, and the MT is the same thing as the Cooper STT tire. The Duratracs are a very aggressive all terrain tire, that have big should tread blocks that look like a mud terrain, and work as a MT by cleaning out the tread. If you want a good all terrain tire i would either recommend the Nitto terra grappler or the goodyear duratrac.

Since you got a Rubicon i would continue with the aggressive tire look and go with the duratrac of the toyo MT.
But that's just me welcome!

The Toyo's M/T's for sure. They just look so much better, expecally on a Rubicon. How is the noise level of your Toyo's?

I went with Maxxis 305/70/17. I like them and I don't need to re-gear (3.73 6sp), although it would be nice to have 4.56 gears. If I had 35's I would probably need more lift.

Looks great! Did you run the leveling kit with the stock tires for long? How'd that look?
