How come no 33s + regear option? That's what I did with my D30 front and I've never looked back.

I personally would not fit 35" rubber on anything less than a Dana 44, but I like having "something in reserve" when on the trail if you catch my drift.

Cheers!

Yeah right I wish.... I've got to save cash up little by little so I just wanted to see if all the extra time waiting to get the money up for the 35/regear option would be worth it in the long run for my needs...I'm getting impatient

Thanks Geeper this might be the happy medium since I would want the superchips in the end anyway... this could work and then I could regear a few months later

I will also be going with 35s and regearing to 5.13, the Jeep is mostly a DD, once in awhile I take the XJ.

My jeep is my DD and I am running 35's with stock gears (3.73). No doubt go for the 35's, they look and preform so much better than stock

My opinion for a daily driver:

2-door: 33's
4-door: 35's...
