Default 33's or 35's

so I can 35's for 60 bucks cheaper then the 33's. My lift sits just right under 5in. Its my DD that needs new shoes. I have stock gearing D30/C8.25. Next week i'm replacing my steering box because its going out. I just went though my brakes and all new all they way around. would it be wise to go with the 35's or just spend the 60 bucks more and go with 33's they are both 12.5/15

i was in the exact predicament as you are right now a year ago. and i will tell what a fellow jeep member told me. "if regearing in the future is not on your to do list,then stay with 33's, your mpgs and power loss will not as bad as with 35's. and thanks to him ive never looked back after getting 33's. very happy with my decision. hope this helped.
