Because you travel nearly 300 miles daily, I would personally stick w/ the 33's. You may want to consider the TF leveling kit (cheapest route) or possibly even the OME 2" lift.

Really depends on how much time you will spend off road.

I have the OME 3" w/ 35" MT/R's put together by David @ Northridge4x4 and love it!

However, I don't and wouldn't drive it 300 mi @ 80 Mph daily.

Just my two cents.

Definately give David a call . . . He's the man!

I have ordered a 2.5" RC BB for my JK X 2010 2 doors 6 speeds with the 3.21 and i'm looking right now for some rubber.. do you think 315/70 R17 will fit with the stock wheels ?

34.5" x 12.5..

Hesitate between BF All Terrain KO 315/70 R17 or 285/70 R17.. ( 33 or 35 )...

The ±35" will fit with a 2.5" RC BB and no wheels spacer right ? And what about the 3.21 ?...
No serious performance needed but I don't want to be slow as hell neither..

Need advice too !

from what i've read im going to go with the gut instinct. With the 3.21, 33in seem to be the way to go. i think its asking to much from my jeep to go with the 35s and stock gears.

Do the 33" x 12.5 R17 will fit with stock wheels without rubbing ? I've got a 2.5" RC BB spacers.

Maybe not on the road but once you flex your suspension I would think there may be some rubbing on the rear swaybar without the use of wheels spacers

One of my Rubi's has 33", 4:10 gears, 3" lift, SuperChip. It works great in the mountains (Freeways and trails) as well as rock crawling. The SuperChip made a big difference on the freeway with hills.
