This thread is pretty funny.....I'll call it "Penis envy."

I have 33's but I saw a guy with 35's and then I got the 35's and Now I need 37's, but now I'm tihinking I should get 40's...OH MY GOSH!

Let the madness STOP!

if you go with the 33s, don't park beside anyone with 37s. i felt like a mini me.

That almost looks photoshopped. Thats how I felt when I had stock 32's and parked beside a friends jeep w/ 35's. face it, the JK was practically designed to have 35's on it... after you have them, 33's and smaller look impotent.

I have stock 3.73's on an auto and it drives great as long as OD is turned off. After I get all my armor on, i will probably regear to 5.13's... but till then, i still love the 35's.

heres a pic of my jeep with the skyjacker 2.5" lift and 33" dick cepeks



i just bought a rc 4" lift and i want to go with 35's, dont get me wrong, the 33's did great , but with the 4" lift it will look a lil funny with 33's on it

if you decide on 33's, mine are for sale with only 2k miles on them

i'm satisified with the 33's i have now, but with going with a bigger lift, im upgrading the tires to 35's
if i would keep the 2.5" lift i would also keep the 33's

I think that the general rule is that if your are even thinking of 35s, then go with 35s because you won't regret it.

If you already ordered the 33s then go with them and enjoy the extra power and MPG you will get over 35s.

Got 33's and I am happy with them... work well on the trail and can follow the other guys with 35's no prob...

Sometimes it just takes more driver skill
