33s vs 35s Your opinions please!
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!

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...

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. :-)
