Good
I too was back and forth about lifting, tires, and so on. I'd read a horror story on one post then happily ever after on the next. I said the hell with it and built my jeep the way I wanted. Talked to Joe at Teraflex and got all the info I needed straight from the horses mouth. He was very informative and assured me that all would be fine. Now I'm driving my jeep around happier than a pig in pucky and get alot of comments about how good it looks. Not to mention knowing that I can go wheeling in style. Fact is a bone stock jeep can blow a ball joint or an axle or whatever. Build it the way you want, take care of it and have fun! Post pics!

[QUOTE=jkfisher84;2812072]Major wheeling meaning? Almost ready to pull the trigger on this size! I just need some comforting words of wisdom.
I had 33" KM2's and ran them for 6 mos with a 2.5 coil lift. I just kept thinking the tires were just to small. SO I recently went with 35's and couldn't be happier. I had the same reservations about doing 35's, but like its been stated, stuff may break no matter if your running a 35 or stock tires. Take care of your stuff and it will take care of you!
