Default D-30 and 35s or Prorock 44 and 37s?

I'm on the fence between 35s and 37s I could build up my d30 c gussets sleeves etc and run 35s I could do all this right now and have a nice rig for the summer months. Or I could wait and buy a prorock 44 and run 37s it would be closer to Christmas before I could get all that done. Tell me what you would do and why? I'm on stock steelies right now and those things have got to go. This is also my first jeep not that it matters but give me some opions guys. I'll go 4.88 with the 35s or 5.13s with the 37s. This is also not my daily driver its a 6 speed manual.

Given that you already know that you want to go with the 37's - you're just going to regret not going that big initially.

Why buy the same parts twice? Go big or go home!

Do you wheel alot? its not your DD, so yeah go for the 37s. Just ask yourself what kind of wheeling you do, whether you need 37s or not. Prorocks are great for 37s.

Yeah I'm thinking go big or go home too. I love to wheel man once I meet up with more people that have jeeps in my area I'm sure ill wheel a lot more I don't have any rocks where I'm at just a lot of hills back woods and mud I would love to make a trip to Utah one day though I think it would be worth the wait for the prorock 44 but man I hate waiting.

Hills and woods you'll be fine, at the very least gusset your C's, they will bend. Me, two years, 37's, d30 front, stock axles, c gussets. Trails here and 2 trips to Moab .
