I have a 2008 Sahara 2 door. 3.73 Auto. It has a 2.5 teraflex budget boost and 33" duratracs. Wheels great in this phase but looking for more. Ideally, "phase 2" is a 3.5" lift and 35s but I'm not ready to do it all at once. I already installed a coast front DS and synergy drag link, synergy tie rod, and synergy track bar. I'm considering the 3.5 AEV. A friend has it and I've been very impressed. I only have 17,000 miles on my current tires so I don't want to replace those yet. Does anyone have pictures of a 2 door on 33's with a 3.5 lift or any advice for advancing my build? Thanks.

JK Show & Tell has a bunch of huge pic threads divided into different categories. Since the search kinda sucks, use this in google, followed by your search criteria.

( site:www.jk-forum.com )

( site:www.jk-forum.com 33 3.5" )

Which will bring up a bunch of threads with 33" tires and 3.5" lifts in the titles...

Thanks. I did a little looking but I find mostly 4 doors. I also would like to hear from people who went a similar route.

Flip side, you could sell your 33's(with decent tread) if you got the 35's!

These 33's perfectly stuff the fender wells when I'm off camber, 35's would rub

If you zoom in on the back of my last jk, you can get an idea of what a 33" duratrac looks like with a 3.5" lift. It's a LOT of fender gap. Enough so that those 33s were quickly sold for 35s.
