What makes you think so? Im still leaning towards version 1 with 35s (if I cand find a deal, 33s if not)..

Only difference is height, and the possibility of not needing an sye.

I just like 33s on something I drive all the time.

I hated DDing my Jeep on 35s.

You also forgot to factor in gearing and install in version 1. I'd add another 800 for that. Unless you do it yourself then just add $450.

No gears with version 1 for the time being, I only drive the jeep to work and back (total of 5 miles round trip) and to and from trails. Gears would eventually come, but not till either summer or christmass.

4.5 with 33s may not look too horrible, may end up going that route until I can afford gears and everything with my 35s.

Ill be installing lift, 3 link, etc myself, so no install costs there. When I do gears I will be doing those at home too...with some experienced help

Yeah, I'd hold off on the 35's on stock gears unless you want to be replacing the transmission and gears at the same time.

4.5" with 33's wouldn't look bad. Gear before those 35's.

I run like 60 from my neighborhood to work. Not really speeding..just a few miles over.

If I catch a bad parking spot it takes me longer to walk in then it does to drive to work.
