I'd go with full widths and a lower lift. Then 36"-37" tires, a little bit of trimming and bumpstops....if I wasn't selling my jeep.

Whats even more different is running big tires on a small lift. You would be better off to invest in some good skids, sliders and high clearance bumpers and keep the low cog. Look through the thread in my sig called "low cog tips and tricks". When you get tall like that it makes it more unsafe on the road and more prone to flopping on its side in off-camber situations.

if you dont trim your fenders it might not look as odd but truth be told it would rather unstable on the road I have about 7" of lift on 35's and it likes to use the whole road lol.

there is a HUGE difference between 8" on 33's
and 6.5 on 35's
and were not trying to insult you. it's just not a practical idea so none of us will support it and we like to make jokes
a ton of people have 8" lifts. they just dont go wheeling...
