Need some opinions here.. tire wheels, lift, and gears? Which should be done first?

 

your question is pretty vague!!!!!depending on what ya want you might need it all.bigger tires means lift really big tires means lift and gears!what are ya lookin to do???

 

by the way,welcome to the forum!!!!!!!

 

Thank You! I wanna get 33's or 5's.. I read one thread where 33's would fit but I definitely want a lift no sure on which one nothing radical though. I also have a 3.21 gear so I know that the 33's and especially the 35 will bring down performance..

 

33s and 3.21s suck!!35s and 3.21s blow!!!i had 33s now 35s wish i spent the money on gears first!!!!35s your gonna need @3" of lift at least if that helps!

 

I say spend some time on the forum searching the topic and looking at photos in the Show and Tell section. Decide what look and what performance you want and then you'll know which way to go. I would save up and do the lift and tires/wheels at the same time. You will probably need a lift of some sort to fit the bigger tires anyway, even some 33's (depending on your wheels and the backspacing). If you have a standad trans you can get by without gears for a while.

 

what model jeep did ya get? IMO you shoud get some protection.... at the mininmun rock rails on there first if you don't have some already. of course that depends on your wheeling terrain and style.out here we are one big boulder after another and the rock rails have saved me countless times. look for some nice rubi tires someone has taken off ,those are a great upgrade to the x and the saharas and they can be found on here cheap.
