I'm going to be getting the RK 3.5in 8 arm lift. I'm torn between 35 and 37in tires. The fine people from RK are telling me to go for the 37s. I know I will someday want them(that is why Im doing the 3.5 in lift) just not sure if i should start with the 35s. Im in a 09 rubi 2dr 6spd. I'm keeping the 4.10 gears for now either way. Im ok if its a little sluggish.
Any thoughts?

 

If you are going to get them eventually, why wait? 35's are great until you want 37's then they look like roller skate wheels.

 

Go with the 37's and don't look back. I thought I would never go bigger then 35's what was I thinking.... I got a 3.5 RK lift and wish I had 38's. The only reason I stayed with 35's is because I went with 15" rims back when I first started tis project...Live and learn I gues...

 

Come on in the waters fine,,,, You will want 37's and then you will want gears so just go ahead and do it all 5.38's and get those 37's,,, you'll have big smiles

 

X2 what Freak said,, But you Will want 37's so ya might as well gather the funds and do it right the first time,, and don't be scared to go 5.38's, you really will want to go as low as you can with this motor,, Also Alloy those axles and your good to go,,,,

 

Good info, thanks, did I mention this is my DD? I may have left that out. But my commute is only 30 miles round trip. When you say alloy the axles that is referring to sleeves right?

 

x2 Plus go with some axle sleeves and gussets.

 

Alloy shafts and def x3 on the gussets I bent mine up pretty bad on my xj running 35's

 

I've seen a lot of people make this mistake and it cost them more money in the end. Whether it's lift height, tire size or wheel size, go with the bigger of your choices. If you are even considering 37's, that is what you need to go with. If you settle for 35's, you will be regretting it in short order and trying to sell your 35's so you can buy 37's.

 

I think 35s are great on a 2dr though I wish I had 37s on my 4dr but the good ol' Dana 30 can't bring me to do it.
