I have been working on getting 35s on this thing for a while. Tonight, I took a big step. I borrowed some from a buddy... They will probably be a permanent addition, since he's parting the Jeep they came from.
Interesting things to note...
4.10s aren't terrible as long as you don't use 5th gear. I need to install the 4.88s.
35" tires on 15" wheels with a C load range ride bouncier and squirmier than 33s on 17's with load range Ds. Not sure I like this aspect. I also am not a huge fan of the black wagon wheel look either. I gotta decide if I keep the pintlers, and pay an extra 100 bucks a tire to use 17s or take that extra 100 bucks and buy some pro-comp 69 polished wheels in 15 inch diameter. The answer there will depend on how my Jeep does with 4.88s and vibrations.
Finally, black magic brakes are the shit. I put a set of pads on before the 35s. You know, safety first. Anyway, they can lock up the 35s and provide very confident braking. If you haven't yet, go to black magic brakes for all your braking needs!
Pictures...(don't judge, she needs a bath)
