I was thinking the same thing, maybe if I had mud terrains or something it would be ok but I hate the way my all terrains look...

I have the AEV 4.5 sc lift with 35s on 17s ....most say that is to small for such a big lift but I think it looks great. Same situation with 3.5 and 33s....just go with what looks good to you.

I can't find any pictures. But my buddy has a JKU with 4" of lift and a very wide aggressive 33. Looked awesome.

5" with 33s. Can't wait for the tire tread to wear down.

If you are concerned with looks, trimming your fenders will give you the look of a 4" lift and it would be free. It would also increase your potential articulation if you are concerned about that at all.
