Yes I do. Really this is because of the TJ getting bigger. I can handle 33s on a DD but why have two sets of 33s??? Since I finally figured out how to order and they are $5 difference I figured why not. My poor gears though. Lol.

makes sense to me. the TJ with a manual will be a little more DD friendly anyway.

Because you don't have to lift the tc so high. And I say 14mm or 9/16th stubbys cause it's one of those things where it depends on the wrench and the condition of the nuts.

Manual should be fine. Auto would really suck ***** on long hills and would benefit from a trans cooler.

35's on an Auto....I would go 4:88 sooner rather than later....and then get the right Speedo gear right away so as to not mess with the TCU.
