I hve a 2013 JKUS with Auto and 3.73.. I had a deal for 5 xd hoss wheels and 5 duratrac 315/70/17 installed for $2200.00. I was super excited till i read everyone having highway issue and it driving like a dog.. i do highway driving and want to go 80 85... I know sounds silly... but i am sorta stuck on the deal aspect... but I can switch to a 285/70/17 Cooper ATP warranty tire for $ 1750.00... Advice...

I know if i do the 35 i have to pay 1000 for Teraflex coil/shock kit installed
100 to 1000 for tire carrier depending...

that is what i came up with so far...

on the 33 just needs a leveling kit... so 130

 

Why not just get 35's and a 2.5" bb? Don't HAVE to get a $1000 lift lol. That's what I have, no complaints. And you should definitely find a friend/ local jeep club and install yourself!! Learns ya a lot

 

And I'd rather have a slow jeep on 35's vs a fast one on 33's I have 3.21 and manual, not as bad as everyone makes it seem.

 

TF leveling kit boasts up to 34". You can cut the flares as well as the pinch seam. Save yourself some money and do the install yourself. Read Project-JK right up and also check out Planman's threads. I've seen guys run...depending on your rig 18/59's on 2 dr with flat or trimmed flares running 35 to 37's. Jeeps are soooo easy to work on. As KH202 stated BB's are nice too!

 

As to answer the thread title, putting 35's on your jeep will certainly not make it suffer go for it

 

I have a 13 jku sahara 35's auto 3.73 and its not bad at all hills will kick you to 4 but they did stock anyways and I average 15 mixed and 16-17 highway and not broke in yet
