It depends on whether you have the 3.73 gearing or 3.21's. If you have the 3.73 and the 6 speed, then 35's are okay with a loss of 6th gear. If you have the 3.21's stay with the 33's if you do a lot of highway driving.

Go with the 35's if you honestly offroad with it. If you occasionally offroad and majority on road then go with 33's. You'll Appricate the 35's like I did, and after a year with them I finally regeared!! I had an Auto with 4.10's

I have 33's and I don't regret it at all. I've wheeled some pretty hard trails and there's nothing a 35 can do that I can't. Mine is also a daily driver so I went with the 33. I have hankook dynapro m/t (285/70/17) and I love them. They recently won a mud shoot out against other name brands that people swear by on this forum. They are decently priced also.

Example mine cleared. He took exact same line but smaller tire. Rock angles at a 45 degree incline which you cannot see. About a 1 inch make or break difference.
Mud might be different! I quit mudding years ago because of all the uncontrollable damage. With trail riding and Rocks the only damage you do is because of driver error and not mud!!

The only difference is clearance and depends on what 35 or 33 you buy!
