2 Door on 35's
One of my goals for the next couple years includes putting 35's on my JK. Can you show me what your 2 door looks like with them on? Also, would I have to re gear? I would be doing no towing whatsoever.

I have a 4 dr. and I always planned on getting 35's so I got the 2.5 inch coil lift with shock extenders from teraflex. I found a great deal on 37's so now im going to have those for a little... So with a 2.5 inch lift Ill have to get a body lift and cut the fenders but still not much of a hassle at all... Looks like you dont have a rubi so that means you have a dana 30 in the front. With both sizes you will most likely want to get axle sleeves and C gussets just to prevent any bending or breaking as much as possible. As for gears Im not sure what you have or what ratio you have. Ive got 4.10s and im going to try to run the 37's for a little but either way youre going to want to upgrade eventually. 4.88 would be good for Manual and 5.13 for automatic. Superchip will help some.

35's on a 2dr are sweet and I want to get back to them. 37's need some additional strengthening because of the weigh you'll be throwing around.
Here is mine on no lift and 35's for a very brief time. Ideally, I want to do 4" LA and 37's, I've seen it in my color with that setup and it looks really nice.
