who running 35s
 

today i was told i was full of crap that i run 35s with a 4.5inch lifted.he though i was running 33s so he told me that 33 are to heavy that i should run 32s and that his 32 rub with 4.5 and that i should have just but on fender flares and not cut my fender. what size tires and lifted are u guys running Attachment 258101

You're running 35's? Trimmed? 4.5 lift? Are you rubbing? On road rig? Off road only? Geared?

It's your rig...does it work for you?

I'm on 35's. Around 6.5" lift. Trimmed (although poorly by PO)...On short arms (hate them, changing ASAP, stroker first lol) on 4.88's. Works for me, but want it to work better. Actually dropping an inch or so in lift when I do it, so 5-5.5" long arms on a stiffened uniframe is where I'm heading.

yea i running 35s i have trimmed might trim more. i am running a 4.5 rubicon express short arm kit but i going to go long arm soon. it it for off road and i drive it on the road but it not my dd and i have 4.88 gears it so much nicer with the gears. and nice a stroker motor would be nice and i like your jeep

Thanks. Can't wait to get the stroker in. My point is this: If it works for you, who cares what your "buddy" says? Sounds like you are going to change things anyways, so, wait until you get it changed, see how YOU like it. If you like the look of aftermarket flares, or have to have them due to local law, well, there ya go....And yes, the gears make the difference. I was stuck on 35's and stock gearing due to a sudden job loss, and it sucked hairy man balls...but now it's geared and has a stroker waiting to go in, just a few more things to do before the swap, then the frame work/suspension U/G is next on the list.

yea i know what u mean your jeep never stays the seem and eveone jeep diffent and how they want it. i though it was funny that ppl that u dont new just start talking **** for no reason. and i thoulg it would be a good thing to talk about and get ppl talking. yea i was running stock gears with 35s for awhile to get the moeny for the gears it suck big time and nice most there

I'm at 4.5" lift and metric 35's and my stuff with minimal rub in back. I don't have as much backspace as most you guys do. (4.25) not your typical 3.75. I only have minimal rub at near full lock on lower control arms. Haven't gotta wheel yet with them but I'll be around 5-5.25" lift with my new springs here soon. Really power wise too not much of a change from 33s. Mileage went from 19-20mpg with 31" tires to 16.5mpg w/ 33's then to 13.3mpg with 35" tires.

6.5 long arm lift, 8.8 with 4:56 gears on goodyear wrangler mtr's.

jeep looking good.and cant with to see how it looks with the new lifted on. do u plan on gearing it.

it flexes good what long arm lifted are u running

Rough Country, I like the ride, flexes well, l and have had no issues with the lift.

I could have stuffed the tires a lil more and gone higher, but i left it parked on the ramp for a couple hours at a local friday night meet.

BTW...bump stop properly and you won't rub...just sayin'...

cool i will check them out and that a nice parking spot lol

that what i told him but it just want to keep saying about all the rust he see on my jeep and my rims lol

haters gonna hate

4:88 is the plan. And bumps for sure. I think 4.5" and 35's is perfect. I'm not long armed yet but I'm all for and about droop.
