I am sorry if this has been debated or whatever. I am lazy and didn't feel like searching, lol. I am in the process of installing a 6" lift, have re-geared to 4.56, eaton e-lockers front and rear, d30 front/d44 rear, SYE and such. I am debating about 33" vs 35" Would it be worth it to buy and run 35s instead of 33s? If so, what is the reason/advantage of 35s over 33s with a 6" lift/4.56 gears? Thanks!

 

35"s get you one inch more ground clearance, other than that, no reason. Go with 35s IMO

 

Go 33s you can lock front and rear and have less worry on breaking things

 

33s would be better for your gearing but 35s could be run on 4.56s. your dana 30 front would last better on 33s as well. i would run 33's but most will prolly say trim your fenders and run 35s

 

I am planning on trimming and running bushwacker cutouts, so that isn't an issue. I have upgraded steering as well. So far, I am seeing that 35s will cause more issues with the dana 30, than 33s...

 

Less rolling resistance, better approach angle, departure angle, breakover angle, ground clearance, and sex appeal.

 

Most important of all those is the sex appeal.

 

lol.

 

Bigger is better!

One of our good members has 35s on his locked D30.

 

The other thousand members running the same setup are bad members? Lol

 

Yes. That is EXCATLY what I was saying.

 

I suppose that depends on which sex you want to appeal to.

 

I guess I am just worried about snapping shafts with 35s. I have already put a decent amount of time and money into my setup, would hate to break something first time out, lol. but then again, part of why I have a cherokee is because of how "cheap" they are to fix. ;-) Ultimately, I am looking for the best overall fit with the setup I am running. would 33s allow for better articulation or flex, on 6" lift, or would 35s? Would 35s require less since they provide more clearance? Clearly I am still very new to all of this, so any and all insight would be helpful. :-)

 

go w 35s for sure! you'll regret 33s. if you wheel w/common sense, 35s can be managed on a locked 30.

 

X2, but when he gets 35s, he is gonna wish he went with 37s
