I'm interested in this as well. I've got room to clear both after the lift, and I like the look of 35's better, but I'm not going to have the cash to re-gear for a while. If it's all the same off road between 33's and 35's I might start leaning to 33's.

I say stick with 33s on the 2DR. You will have plenty of flex and you'll be able to go just about everywhere a 4DR can go with 35s. You'll just have a few more scrapes, but that's why you have skid plates!

I don't have any issues with 33x12.50's flexing off-road in mud & rocks with a 2" lift. Also, have plenty of power with my 3:73 gearing and 6 spd. I think 35's would be to painful for 3:73's around my neck of the woods...but 35's do look good.

The 6-speed makes everything way more bearable. I have been driving on 35's and 3.73s with the 6-speed and really doesn't bother me at all. If you buy the 33's now you will be wishing you went to 35's and will be out all of that money plus the regearing.
