They measure 34's off the jeep and about 33.5" under the jeeps weight. At a bare minimum you will need a leveling which can be used with stock length shocks. I have the nitto terra grapplers in this size. I had the teraflex performance leveling kit with stock length bilstein shocks. I wouldn't recommend off roading unless you want to be replacing fenders clips every time you do, ask me how I know! A 285/70/17 is a much better size to run on leveling kit. If you really want to run this size I would highly suggest a 2.5" lift which do require shock extensions or longer shocks. I would do longer shock as they would better handle the tire and wheel weight vs stock shocks.
