For the street, 33's are fine...for mud, the fatter and longer footprint of the 35's will make you much more capable, provide more flotation, less bogging down, and more over all traction, and help keep the diffs/axles from acting as anchors, etc.
In mud, 35's make a difference vs 33's.

So is 2.5 BB and 35s a workable combination, or am i going to run into alot of trouble offroad? This isnt really a show truck so even though i drive on the street how it looks isnt the most important thing, its second on the list

Hey RocksHurt, could you post some pics? I want to buy the KM2's and wonder how it looks. Also, did they fit okay on the stock tire carrier?

It fits great on the stock carrier, I just neet o get some vibration support extensions (rubber hose). I was amazed at how big the lugs are on the tires. If it did not have the cuts in them one can easily mistake them for crawlers. I also am amazed how they handle on the road and are not much louder than the goodyear radials. I am very happy.

Snag the 35s...I think it is the perfect stance for the JK w / the 2.5....Your jeep will be begging you for them otherwise. Power loss is not that bad unless you are up and down hills all day. The only regret I have is that I bought ATs instead of MTs.

Bro I looked at your gallery and with that set up it looks great but on your flexed pics your way into your fender flares so i say 33s with a 2.5. Id go 35s with 3" lift and 1" spacers front and rear to stay out of the fenders.

Nice lookn jeep.
Do you have the auto or the 6spd?
I'd love to get 35s but I'm still on the highway a lot and sounds like 35s with 4.10s and an auto would be a real dog? Any thoughts?
Did you have to regear your rubi to get decent power?
