Hey all, My new 2013 JKU Sport S, Black on black, auto, dual top, 3.73, LSD, Connectivy group, and Premium Sound, is being built right now (In Frame per VOTS) so should be getting it soon. I'm getting ready to order the following upgrades and would like any opinions or suggestions before I do this build. Prefaced, I am going 33" and don't plan to upgrade to 35's due to it being my daily driver:

Rugged Ridge Black Wheels
285/70/17 Duratracs
Teraflex Performance Leveling Kit
Rancho 9000xl adjustable shocks (great sale, I can get all 4 for $250)
LOD Signature series rock rail
Arb full winch bumper (no winch yet though)

I will be ordering in the next couple of days, so any input would be appreciated.

 

You will want 35s....I run them on my DD no prob...mark my words, you will want 35s...

 

Maybe look into getting a stubby front bumper cuz the full length bumpers are pretty heavy. The stock bumper weighs about 25lbs and the warn rock crawler stubby I installed weighs 60lbs so the arb full bumper is going to have to weigh more than that and will cause ur front to sag a lot. Maybe get the teraflex 2.5" coil lift not the BB and some 315 duratracs cuz after a very short time those 285's are gonna look really small. I went from stock bfg rubi 32's straight to 37" bfg km2's and running 4.10's and it's my DD

 

Just ordered the same jeep but I'm in Afghanistan right now so I won't pick it up til the end of November. I'm so pumped to get out if here and get in my jeep.

 

if you want 33 go for them but...you will want 35..i started with 35 and stock 4.10 with CRD it was awesome...now with 37 and 5.13..much better...33 for start it's ok

 

That's why I am still on the stock 32 until I can afford 35s or 37s
I see no point upgrading from a 33 to 33 for a 1/2 inch groin clearance

 

Thanks for the input, ya, you're probably right on the 35's. I will have to decide quick, I want to put my gear on as soon as it gets here.

 

You think is any chance I could run 35s with a 3.73 dd

 

mmmh...35+4.10+PROCAL was ok but..perfect with 5.13..and my diesel have much torque than yours V6...

 

Ya u shouldn't have much problem unless u have to drive on steep grades all the time. Where I live it's mostly flat with occasional steep grades and it been fine for me cuz of the pentastar engine has plenty of power. Eventually I will get 4.56 or 4.88's down the road but for now I'm fine with it and this saves me money for other upgrades like armor and axle shafts and so on
