Default 33's or 35's with terreflex kit

Hey all. Just put a 2" in front and 1" in rear terreflex leveling/lift kit. Question is can I get 35's on it now or do I need 33's? Also if anyone has pics of that setup it'd be appreciated.

I had the 1.5" performance coil kit on my 2013 jku and no way could you go 35's without flat fenders.

The leveling kit doesn't change the overall travel of the suspension from stock. 33s will slightly rub and 35s will remove the flares at full stuff.

Simply adding spacers only changes the ride height.

This was prior to a lift and 35s.

It was the TF leveling kit and 285/70/17 KM2s. The fronts had a very minor rub at full stuff. Sounded horrible, but never had any damage.

Depends entirely on your wheel offset and width and what your going to do with it. My pintlers fit Terra Grappler 35x12.50s without rubbing anything at stock height for any normal street use.

But as mentioned above, only by adding bump stop height will you be able to prevent rubbing with any enlarged tire and stock fenders.

OP- do you wheel or is for looks? 33's will have minimal impact on performance in acceleration, mpg and braking. 35's will increase your running ground clearance over stock by 1.5" but you take a hit on acceleration, mpg and braking. It's really your call.

Here are pics of 33's and 35's on a 2.5" lift to give you a idea.

Go with your 35 inch tires, I used 15 inch Alloy rims that cost 100 bucks online and a 2.5 inch Rough County Lift

My brother just put a leveling kit, 17" fuel trophies, and 35" km2's on his jeep. Looks great! Just need to add some bump stop

How far off did the 1.5" throw off your caster/pinion and how far did it off center your axels? Did you have to add anything else to the kit like sway at end links, track bar etc?
