I've decided I'm just going to do rims and tires. Then I'm going to buy a lift kit and install it myself with my cousin up in Charleston. We've never done one before, but hey it's an excuse to drink some beer. I don't want to regear and I feel a 2.5inch budget boost and 33's will give me that beefier look and get me anywhere I want to go. Now the only question is should I move down to 15 inch wheels. I love the way that size rim looks and the tire

If you're not going bigger than 35's I highly recommend it. My 35" km2's were only $250 limited selection of
37's tho for 15's

And I think you would be ok with 35's and 4.10's and 4:1 Offroad. I get by just fine with 3.21's. can't speak as to how the autos are tho.

I think my next set of wheels will be 35's. I just need to find some rims that have been shown to fit fine and then decide again on tires, I really like the look of these

Mickey Thompson BAJA MTZ

Nitto Trail Grapplers MTZ

Dick Cepek Mud Country

Duratracs

At 15 inches they all are around the same price.

MTZ's with some MB wheels, discount tire sells the mb wheels but you'd have to source the tires from elsewhere.

Something to keep in mind....mickey's start out at 21/32" tread depth whereas most others start at 18/32"....just something to think about.

That should fit my jeep, anyone have this on there that didn't have to do any mods to make it fit?

I've heard the BAJA MTZ get decent tread life and I think they look beefier than the Trail Grapplers. I keep seeing all these pictures of Duratracs, they look nice as well
