I just bought my JK unlimited. I want a bigger, more aggressive look, but it is my DD and therefore I will not be doing any serious offroading with it.
I was considering a Teraflex 2.5" budget boost, keeping the stock wheels, and going with 33" tires, but I'm worried the 33"'s won't do it for me. If I go to 35"'s will I end up having to do more mods?
I'm looking to maintain a clean ride for daily use.
Please, any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.

I currently run the teraflex 2.5 budget boost with 35x12.5x17 km2's. It is a killer setup. Some people choose to add sleeves and gussets when 35+ tires. I did, but it's not 100% necessary unless you wheel a ton then at least do gussets. Also with a 35" spare you probably won't want all that weight on the tailgate. So a rear bumper tire carrier might be wise. Other than that. Cost wise there isn't much. I would definitely go 35's you will want em as soon as you have had 33's for a few days. I know I already want 37's
Here's a few pics of 35's on 2.5 bb
The other jeep And jeeper pictured is forum member bstelling. He rocks the aev 4.5 with 37x12.5x17 mtr/k
Hope this helps

The answer to your question is yes. If you go to 35 inch tires it will be more mods and your gas mileage will also suffer. Teraflex does have great lifts. congratz on your new jeep!

Thought I would share a pic of my Jeep when it had a 2" lift and 33" km2's and stock fenders. I found that the 33" tires looked small with the lift and I either should have ran the 33" with no lift or gone to 35" with the lift. Of course, I had the bug and now run 37" tires.
Good luck with your choice.
