Going from 33s to 35s

Pretty new to Jeepin so might not be a big deal. My 11' JKU came with 33" wheels and 17" tires. Gears and axles are stock and it has a 2.5 lift so just wondering if there would be a problem going up to 35s.

Zero issue. One thing I would suggest is having some C gussets like what evo sells welded on to help strengthen your axle C's with the larger tires

As Cozdude mentioned, there are no issues lift wise going to 35s. One thing you may experience though, is very sluggish performance without a regear. What gears are you running now? With 3.21s, I would not be too happy running a 35" tire. Just something to think about. I would hate to see you bump up tire size and not take gearing into consideration, and then hate the way your rig drives afterward. It will look cooler, but it's more important that you are satisfied with the way it drives first IMO.

Agreed. Ask Napalm about going to 35s and back again because of the performance loss.
