And no I don't want to go to 35", 33" are expensive enough, lol. What do you guys think? How high of a lift does that look like, 3 1/2" ? Also, the light bar has been removed. I have no need for them and they sound like a tornado when I have the top off, lol.

They look fine. But for comparisons sake here is my Jeep with 33s and 35s. I ran the 33s for a while then jumped up to 35s. The 35s really closes the gap of the wheel wells & makes the jeep look proportionate....

No complaints here I really like them..... I didn't want steel cause they can cause more damage to the body if you ever find yourself leaning into a tree or rock..... Good luck

Those 35s look better on that four door. Definitely like them more!

First - If you want to live never respond to the dress question by saying "No, Dear, that dress doesn't make your butt look fat. Your fat butt makes your butt look fat."

Second - I've always thought that 33s look great on a 2 door Jeep. Bigger tires can look cartoonish if not offset with just the right amount of lift. On the other hand, I prefer 35s on the unlimited.

Now occasionally I look out the window and think maybe I should have gone with 37's. It never ends!!<img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=546833"/>
U will have to re gear and re program and that's a few thousand more. Save your money and be happy with what you have, your JK is awesome! Its the fenders that make it seem smaller.
