I'm definitely looking for something between 34" and a true 35", so I may need to re-think my plans.... :(
Anyone know of a comparable AT tire that measures much closer to 35"?
EDIT: What pressure are you running?

I'm not sure if the 2 door requires new driveshafts first hand but the AEV site states that it is not required with their 2.5" kit. Oh and yes this kit came with bilsteins.

Wow, that's even higher than many suggest for those (usually 32 or 33psi). I can't imagine them being even smaller. You may as well get a true 33" tire at that point!
I guess I need to do some more research...
