Default need opinions....

i just got my 3.25inch lift installed and my 33"inch A/T are worn down like im running on drag slicks lol

i know i can clear 35's easy but does this make your rig slower because i dont wanna regear right now.. so should i get 33's again or 35's??

I think you'll be happier with 35s. They'll look better, too.

I would say the 35s they work really well offroad and look good. You need to trim that lip on the tranny so you don't tear up the rubber cover on your driveshaft when you do the disco.

I was going to give you a link to where I knew there was a good photo of the problem but it looks like it has timed out from photobucket. Anyway if you are under the Jeep look at the pan right next to the rubber sleeve on the driveshaft and you will see a bolt where there is lip very close to the rubber. Just trim that lip so it doesn't stick out anymore and then it can't grab your rubber sleeve. If I come accross another photo I will make sure you get to see it.

Not only do we need to know the ratio you have now but is it a manual or automatic transmission. Even if your ratio is at 4.11 (Rubicon), you would want to re-gear if you go to 35’s. But if you just want to look cool and are not worried about performance then go ahead and go with the 35’s.

I have an x. So no rubi gears. Its a auto. Not only do I want it to look good, I want it to perform as well. I'll regear when I get the money to do so. I'm not rock climbing. Just light trail ride ad the occasional givin her hell through some mud lol.
