I was thinking about it. I was going to get new axles if I planned on it. But after my buddy got 35s and had regeared, he's not too crazy about them. If I do, I might get 35 ATs and keep my 33s for offroad. He's a little higher than me and those 35s look a little tight.
If you don't trim or bump stop they would be.

He's trimmed and possibly bumpstopped, although he would if he isn't. I'm trimmed quite a bit too.

OK. Cause if you can't fit 35's on a 6.5" lift you're doing something wrong lol.

Haha, yeah. I mean there's room when on the road no doubt. But there doesn't look like that much room to spare for flexing. I might stick with 33s and regear eventually.


And a quick update, my leaf box sliders and RCX CADs are on their way. I'm going to buy adjustable LCAs Friday, still looking to snag a good deal on a used set.

I've been running RCX CADS for quite a while now and I re-used my old RCX fixed lower control arms and couldn't be happier. I'm at right around 6in of lift on 35's and they flex great and ride awesome. They are a great buy if you can't afford long arms like myself. Good luck man

people fit 35s on way less than 6.5 inches of lift. theres room there. i think your jeep would look alot better on 35s the 33s look kinda small on there

Hmm.. True. I'll keep them in mind then. I just plan on getting better axles before going bigger than 33s. They do look kinda small haha. They look like 31s at 6.5''.

Do me a favor and measure from the top of your axle tube to the bottom of the unibody directly above the axle tube.

Please.
