ah man, after debating on details for about 2 yrs/54,000 miles (33's? 35's? 33's? 35's?), I just dropped some serious coin on some 35" BFG KM2's, rugged ridge alloys, and an OME HD lift kit. My wife is gonna kill me.
I'm kinda buggin' out wondering if I am going to LOVE or HATE driving this thing after all the mods. Not too many peeps around here have lifted JK's so I'm not even sure what this is going to look like in person.
Am I gonna love it????!!!!!!!

If you have ever owned a set of MT tires, you will love the KM2s particularly in the winter. The ride probably will be better with the OMEs and at the very least you will just be thinking how much better your Jeep looks.
The real question is: "Will you wife kill you because you spent the cash or because she hates climbing into a higher vehicle that has a less civilized ride?"
Pick your poison.

Going through EXACTLY the same problem. Trying to decide on 33's vs 35's, and do I want 2" or 3.5" of lift. I think I'm going to end up with the OME HD lift kit from Northridge with 33's. GF's gotta be able to get in and out. Anyway, let us know how you like yours. Oh, and are you gonna put it on yourself? Or do you have a shop in the Boston area you know and like? Post pics when you're done.

jeez dunno how you guys do it .. i am on the stock sahara wheels and think it needs 4.55ish gearing minimally just to be bearable ... supercharging this engine isn't even a option but rather a necessity ...
as is, i'd never up size the tires on one of these if it sees any highway duty. it sure looks sweet on 35s tho...

Good Choices
Great choices in wheels and tires. I like that I can make a custom wheel protector or just the already made ones for the wheels.
Post some pics when you get it all installed, I would like to see a two door with all of that on it.
I have a daily driver and have been on a 3" lift and 35 km2's for about 30k miles and have loved every minute. Loved it so much I decided to try 37's.
