Default tires on stock rims with heavy winch bumper

I need new tires! I have got bad shaking at 50 mph to 80, I think if left alone it willdamage tie rods ball joints etc.

I want to go with a larger tire, Trouble is my winch and front bumper are heavy and My jeep sags like 2 inches in front. and also bottoms on hard bumps on the road. So I just can't substitute in a 33 inch tire. I am on major budget crunch. so what are my option,? budget boost? springs? I really would like to run 35's and new wheels . or say a narrower lighter 34ish tire forget and the wheel spacers ?

what are you guys doin? I gotta get this done before friday.
Any body in the so cal area what some rubicon wheels and 1 good 70 % left and 1 not so go good 30% left tire. 3 reall worn outs. so what are your ideas> I dont want to spend over 2k but to get springs tires spacers etc. I am at 2500... any thoughts would be appreciated.. also where in san diego would you guys go? ORW, 4 wheel parts? any body got a secret shop and mechanic? No I can't do it myself to old not skilled enough and no time or proper tools.. I am running an o8 rubicon with warn winch bumper and rock sliders 4dr auto.

I'm looking for stock Rubicon wheels for my trailer so they match my Jeep. Are the 17"?

By the way, I have a thread going called, "Let the Mods Begin" in this section. I was told yesterday, that spacers are needed for 35's on a Rubicon. I haven't started searching for them yet. 4 wheel parts has them for $100 a piece. A little steep if you ask me. My brother lives in SD - I'll ask him where he goes for 4x4 parts.

Spidertrax are 100 a pair! A budget boost will get u 35" clearance, but a fender trim will also allow for 35's.

I thought $100 a piece sounded high! Heck that's half way to new wheels.

Order a set of OME front springs in the 2" over stock variety. They come in heavy duty and normal. Go HD with some good shocks. You'll easily clear the 35" tires...
