I really don't know much yet and I'm trying my best to buy the parts needed for
my Jeep.

It's my daily driver and I can't have anything go wrong.

Really ? I thought I could atleast sell them before breaking them

For now I'm thinking 33's will be the way to go.
It's still going to take a while though before I start the actual build.
Right now I'm thinking to rather fix the stuff that's starting to break before I
make some bigger investments.

btw, What do you mean by size life ?

If you can't have anything go wrong and need it for your daily driver then what do you plan to do with it off road?

Nothing to extreme.
Just some average hill climbs.

I meant size lift life was a typo lol.If you stay 35s or smaller you can build up your stock axles to handle them,Past a 35 your really looking full width 1 ton axles.

8.25 Chrysler axle is plenty stout!
A friend of mine is running the stock 8.25 with a custom 4-link setup, that came under his Dakota.
It has a 416 stroker in it, and consistently runs low-12s...............
