Thanks
They just went on yesterday, so we'll see. I don't anticipate much.. I've already installed sleeves and C Gussets on the front diff. I plan on
upgrading my UJoints, Ball Joints, Axles and Drive shafts after my gear install next week.

Well that's the trick isn't it? Lots of things to upgrade, not just slapping on a 2.5" lift and 37's. At least with 35's you don't have to worry about half of that stuff.

Not to say it doesn't look awesome, it does, but there's a price that comes with that setup.

Absolutely. You gotta pay to play right. Even with my 35's I had the C's and Sleeves, lower control arm skids welded on and Riddler covers. The difference is really, if you use it like it's intended to be used, and as you set it up for, or your just a concrete cowboy who likes to park on curbs. I could have very well just thrown 37's on my 2.5" and called it a day and had little concern for anything, if I never took it off the highway.

Absolutely, which is why I'm buying each component and getting it all done in one shot. I'm not going with 37's (yet) but even with 35's, there are precautions to be aware of and addressed.

Yea wheel about every other weekend or more. But for what I do and for what my wallet will allow I'll be good with 35s (for now). I plan on being that old dude at the local parks still wheelin his first jeep. So I plan on building and breaking and building even more.

Running 35s with 2.5 skyjacker DD runs great and Off road does well but planning to go high and larger with the tires (long term plan) but for now it works well.

I like the 2.5"/35 look with flat fenders.
