Long story short...

I ordered a 3" kit from IRO. Had some part and shipping issues that they corrected and i ended up getting 4" for the front and 4.5 for the back at the 3" cost.

So I now have 235 duratracs that have about 6500 miles on them. I know it was iffy that the 235's were not going to look to small with the 3" lift.

But now that its going to be 4" frnt and 4.5 rear I am thinking about getting some 31" duratracks and selling my 235's. I have no problem buying new tires even though my current tires are bran new. That is a non-issue

So with that said what do you guys think i should do?

Buy the 31's and keep my stock rims? Or buy new rims. I def can't do both.
Please help me decide. Thank you all in advance for the the help.
Jay.

Keep stock wheels, buy new tires. You could always paint the wheels to make them look new.

wow, the upped lift is cool, but the tire problem sucks. if i were in your position i would keep the stock rims for now, and just size up the tires. then later swap rims. most rims i see used are 15in anyways, the only dif with yours would be that they are stock not aftermarket steel or something.

so keep stock rims for now, go bigger tires. (personal opinion)

Its mainly a dd so I was also thinking that bif i keep the wheels i was going to paint them Gunmetal grey and repaint the stock center caps either satin black or clear coat black.
thanks for the quick replies guys.lol.

Well i went to goodyear today and got a set of 31" Duratracs. They were on sale too. So i'll get my lift on soon and I'll report back.
thanks again.

I have a BDS 2" lift and 33" duratrax and they rub a little on the inside back of the front fender (considered shaving it down a bit but not sure its the best fix). Love the tires tho.

OEJ

looks good. now all you need is another 3-4" of lift and it will really look sick. but i do like it.

The best part about stock wheels is theyre readily available for dirt cheep and so is spray paint. So no need to worry if ya dent or chip em.

for rims you could also check the local jy and see if there are any trucks or jeeps with nice wheels on them still :P

Not sure I'd jam that high. But I'm looking to swap out the 2" BDS for a 3.5 rough country or 3" BDS with sway links. On the fence but lookin to swap out this month. Thoughts? suggestions?

Yeah i was on that same wall just a few weeks ago. I ende dup going with IRO which uses R/C shocks and front coil spings. I got their 3.5 kit. They messed up my order and i got an additional 3/4" frnt and 1 1/2" rear lift for free. It will be whats in my sig when i put it on.

I also just got a set of wrangler duratracs 235 back in january. when IRO said they were gonna give me a budget boost for free i went out and got the same tire just in a 31". Son ow the 235's are for sale.

I paid 735. for the IRO 3.5" kit. shipped. So you can decide from there.

I was originaly just doing a 3-3.5" lift because i allready a set of meaty tires,but that all changed.lol.
