I wish I had gone 35's almost immediately. Had an old set of 33's and only 2" of lift so... That is what it is. Going 315/75's on the next go round.

I was in the same boat. Met a guy with 33s on a 4 door, with a leveling kit. Looked too stock, like Jeep should have just sent it out like that.

That said, I'm currently doing the research on which 35s to get and lift/flares to make them fit.

Go 35s

I had a friend who had 33s and immediately when I saw them I knew I wanted to go bigger. 35s aren't the most practical for a DD but i don't think I'd be able to handle anything smaller

Everyone with 33s wishes they'd gone 35s
If it weren't for the additional parts and costs of other upgrades, I'm sure a lot would rather have 37s

Yup, it's a never ending cycle. You always want bigger and better. It took me several years and new Jeep, but I finally got my 35's. Now I want 37's...and a lot of other stuff to go along.

I don't want to have a regret.

Just wondering who has gone 33 cause it seemed more "practical" but then wished for bigger
On a 4dr 33's are waaaaay too small. I would even go to 37's if possible on a 4dr. Get 35's no questions. The "practical" part is not significant enough to justify 33's.

Go 35's to start with especially the first time you drive by another JKU and he's taller than you just looking down saying " yup he wished he went bigger"
