35s add a lot of costs over 33s. For 33s it can be done by just buying wheels and tires. 35s is wheels and tires plus lift, regear, d30 strengthening, strong tire carrier, and probably more. But to do 35s the right and safe way it could easiky hit 5k where as 33s are one 1000-1500. Just depends on your budget. If you have the money 35s is a no brainer.

If you go with 33s you will regret it. 35s just look so much better. My only issue with mine is that I really need to get new gears. Probably 5.13s. Under 50 mph shifting is fine, but all the roads I drive on are 55. Interstate have to go O/D OFF. With new gears, shouldn't have to. Enjoy your new tires.

35" visually fit the car right. Great off road as well. IMO the 33s are not a noticable increase and the 37s too big. In the case of the AT a gearswap to 513s and a superchip was mandatory to make it driveable again.

I just went from stock to 35's and there wasn't that much of a difference. I have a Rubi, 6 speed, 4.10, cold air intake & free flow exhaust and it still runs great in town or freeway. I'm sure my mpg has gone down, but it still runs great. You just need to keep the rpm's up. I have BFG MT.
