I need to be learned y'all....
Please explain to me why there's "nothing wrong" if anyone with half a clue is laughing at you behind your back. I'm all for make your own Jeep, but at least be honest and explain that most people think that 20s look stupid with 35s. And then if he wants to look stupid, hey who are we to keep him from his destiny?
People biggest problem with 20s is they don't like 20s period but always have to give their opining on it

Because you guys are saying these because of side wall , but you never say this to the guys who run 33s and under on 17s when you that it is not a good amount of side wall either

Ok jump off your high horse. He asked for opinions. Wanted to be "learned". I just figured I'd give my somewhat informed opinion. Sounds like you are constantly trying to justify your choice on what I believe to be a poor wheel/tire combo for an off-road vehicle. JMO.
Out of my whole reply you only chose to respond to one sentence.
Me thinks thou doth protest too much.

I personally don't like the looks of 20s on 35", and they will get beat up more than smaller wheels. With 35s I like 17 or 18" wheels.
I have 18s and I think they look to big sometimes, wish I went with 17s
That being said, I remember when jeepers use to say the say bad stuff about 17s &18s, now almost all stock wheels are at least 17"
Your jeep - your call.

Sorry my absence I work out of town... Okay yes I was asking for opinions and I appreciate everyone that Took the time to give theres. Now then does anyone have any suggestions on if I should add anything to my suspension to make sure that it will last and to make sure it doesn't ruin the integrity of the frame or axles?
My jeep is a 2015 two-door Sahara
The wet that was put on is a Rubicon express 2 1/2 inch basic left and the dual steering stabilizer
Thanks yall

The lift height has an impact on the drive shaft angles, I believe you might want to look at a new front drive shaft due to contact with something when flexing the suspension up front. 2.5" of lift doesn't warrant a new rear drive shaft in my opinion, at least not right away. When/if you go to replace the driveshafts, you'll want to get adjustable control arms to set the angles correctly, if your lift kit did not include them (it won't be too far off with 2.5").
The axles have weaknesses that will/can be problematic with the use of larger tires. Since you have a sahara, you've got a front Dana 30 axle which can last a while depending on who you talk to and how hard you off road. (Personally, I've run 35" tires for coming on a year with out problems but am replacing it within the next few weeks just in case)
What size tires are you running and do you plan on running?
In my opinion, I would recommend at least gussets on the C's for the dana 30, with the addition of either a truss or sleeves if you're going to run 35's. I personally would no run anything larger than 35's on a dana 30 unless it never left the pavement.
Also, what components did your lift come with? If you aren't sure, just throw up a link for us. Most of this depends on how to plan to use your new jeep. Will you take it off road at all? How hard will you push it? Do you have a lot of wheel spin and use a lot of throttle? These all factor in. hope this helps.
A good first step might be getting a handle on what the various components actually do and what your goals are before just indiscriminately throwing parts at it. If you're happy with it now, leave it be and go enjoy. If you want to strengthen the axles, there are several popular options to research. If the steering is flighty, there are several popular options for caster correction. If an axle is offcenter, options. If the new tires contact the flares/frame, options...
Figure out what you want to correct so you can compare your options on how to go about it.
