I think that most Cherokee owners aspire to eventually run 35's (I know I do!), but when you get in to that territory, things start getting expensive. IMO the most cost effective and capable set-up for a DD/weekend warrior is a nice set of 33's and either 4.10's, or 4.56's with a locker.

Yeah I think your right. 33s are probably my best bet. Ill go find an 8.25 with 4.10s and throw it under my xj and regear the front.

is the reason you want bigger tires for looks, or better off-road performance? i'd personally go lockers first (at least rear), and some better articulation. shackle relocators. 35s really should have the unibody stiffened, steering upgraded, drivetrain, brakes.. the list goes on and oooooooooonnnnnnn.

Both looks and wheeling. I want more a little more ground clearance for my diffs and I also want a more aggressive tire.
