Default Will i be ok?

Only found one thread on this and it wasn't helpful so here we go. I have a stock 2013 2 door with 3:73 gears. I'm kinda limited to the Mopar 2" lift and want to know should I go with a 33" or a 35"? I spend 80% of my time on streets and the other 20% off road in rocky areas. If I can fit a 35" (Dealership says I can) will I need to regear? (Dealership says I won't). Any help would be great! Thanks guys and galls!

You will be fine....the 3.6 + 35's is a decent combo stock. I run 37s on 4:10s with a 3.8 and can deal with it just fine...
You have more power smaller tires....its not bad at all.....its a jeep not a race car.

You will be fine. I am running 35s with a 3.73 and I have no issues. You will change gears a little more when running up and down long hills on the road, and you'll need a little bit heavier foot if you find your tires dug into some thick mud. Other than that you should be fine. Expect a decline is gas mileage too.

Why are you limited to the 2" Mopar lift? There is a 3" Mopar lift if you are trying to stick with Mopar. I have it and I like it a lot.

I think whoever told you that is fibbing. Here's a link to the 2 door version. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/jeep-li...-jk-3-inch.htm

I have a 4 door with this lift and I like it a lot. I added a front track bar, but everything else came with it. I especially like the Fox reservoir shocks and Tera Flex speed bumps.
