The 35s alone would kill the 1200. I will keep it in mind.

$1200 is a LOT of coin. how old are you? how old is your jeep? what kind of wheeling do you do?

take half, put it into your jeep. take the other half and put it in your savings account. a year down the road, you will be happy you made this decision. this is coming from the guy with well over 10 grand in his dumb jeep.
