re-gear for 35s?
I also don't want to sound like an ass, but seriously take alot of time going through this forum and learning. There is alot of good information on here, this is my first Jeep and this forum has helped me learn alot so i can do things right.
For example, something that hasnt been mentioned that will play a big part in your choice is your lift. If you do decide to go with 35s you need enough lift to clear them. You can clear them with a 2.5" lift (popular choice here) but what is important to know is that since you have a 2door, once you are at about 3" of lift or more you are looking at new driveshafts as well.
If you go with 33s you do not need to lift right away or a smaller lift will still look good on it without worrying too much about more components that are needed with higher lifts or re-gearing
Good luck with your Jeep, this forum and the people here will help you out alot

Hello smuhhh, It sounds like you really are interested in mods for your jeep but have not done this before. We live in the same town and I would be willing to meet, show you what I have done and explain/answer any questions you have. I can help with where and what to buy, who you can trust to do the work if you are unable to. It will be a lot clearer to you if you saw what these parts are and what they do. I wouldn't want to see someone take advantage of you and sell you something you don't need/want or are not ready for. I have sent you private messages so reply if you want and I will do what I can to help a fellow jeep owner.
