Lets get a vote from you all.
Some background info: My peep is in the surgery room right now.. going 4.5" RE coils, 3.5" RE leafs, and a small extended shackle...figure ill end up around 5 inches all around.
Will be running 15x8 wheels with 4 or 3.75" backspacing. My front fenders are already hacked, rears just are flareless.

My question is...33s or 35s.. I do DD the jeep but only like 4 miles a day (literally). Other than that I only drive it leasurely to and from the trail, may cruise it through town on the weekend now and then. I do plan on re-gearing in summer if all goes as planned. The picture of my jeep is only on like 2.5-3 inches of lift and 32s...so it with 4.5 and 35s itll be another 2 inches taller and 3 inch larger tires.. what do yall think.

Thanks. What brand of plug wires do you guys recommend? ACDelco? Bosche?

My girlfriends 1990 jeep is having electrical problems. The radio, wipers, blinkers, brake lights aren't working. I have no clue what it could be. Ground issue? Any help is great

Very possible it is a ground issue. Click the cruser54's mostly renix tips on my sig, refresh those grounds and report back.
