Looking for long term experience with any problems related to 35's
#12
Wow. I've got 32"s and 3.21's. I can't imagine taller tires without re-gearing. As it is, 6th gear is useless with my top and doors off, as it won't pull even a slight grade without downshifting. Its really odd that some folks can run tall tires and 3.21's, while others can't. Engine tuning? Elevation? Secret sauce?
Thats my theory anyway

I'm not very familiar with the TC 2.5 coil lift, but I imagine it would clear your 35's with no issues. This is assuming you are not taking it offroad as you mentioned, as a certain degree of articluation would potentially cause your tires to come in contact with your fenders, bumpers, pinch seam, etc. I only have 3" of lift and haven't had any clearance issues offroad and articulating, however, I've installed the correct bumpstops, brake lines, etc.
33's to 35's...you're only talking and inch or so of added height depending on the tire selection in comparison to your current nominal height. get a Superchips though, that's my recommendation.
go for it.

The only thing thats considered a "necessity" by many with 35's is C-Gussets as your axle C's can bow in. Everything else will be nice to have, but for light wheeling i feel would be overkill. I myself having just moved up to 35's will be getting the Evo sleeves and gussets when the wife gets paid. It was a toss up between the EVO and the Tera-Flex ones, but in the end I went with the Evo. Aside from that, you shouldnt have too many problems, granted thing can always break. Getting a little to carried away with the skinny pedal can leave you with some broke axle shafts while wheeling. Eventually I'll get everything done, after all, someone has to keep the economy alive.
Oh and I run my 35's with a budget boost with no problem.

You really should gusset the axle before or right after going to 35's. Its the first upgrade I would do anyways. Its cheap and easy insurance.
