Everyone says if you get 33's you'll wish you had 35's

well i havent made up my mind yet and i would like to hear from some people who were sorry they got the 3's

i have a 4 door 6 speed with 3:73 gears. 2.5 inch teraflex coil lift that i will be installing this weekend and a 1 in body lift. I live in central oklahoma so its a lot of highway to the rocks.

if you are debating the two... get the 35s. if you don't then you will just spend more money getting the tires you want later.

I was happy with my 33's until I did the fender chop. Now I wish I had 35's.

Default I'm Happy

I also have the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with 33's and I am very happy. I think it looks perfect and for me it fits my needs. However, it is your rig, so you decide what you like.

Even with the 6 speed, how well will the Jeep do with 3.73 gears and 35 inch tires?

My wife had 33" put on at the shop and when we saw how funny they looked with the 2.5" lift we told the shop to put 35" on, so we did't lose any money. Just spent more. Lol.

Ps, we were lucky too, her X came with 4.10 gears, so that and the superchip I gave her from my jeep. She is happy.

Default funny

It's funny when I had a TJ I would have been elated to get 33's on it. I had a 3 in lift and it only fit 31's. To get 35's took a ton of mods. Now 35's and going bigger on the next set.
