The "9th Jeep's a charm" Build

I too have a Dana 44/30 and 35’s! I want to go to 33’s, because I too have 3:73 gears, and it would be easier on the brakes and suspension/ axle parts. Between the tires and steel wheels I have, it equates to damn near 100 lbs. each. 33’s would be beneficial, but I bought it with the 35’s and the tires still have a lot of life left. Hard to justify the expense of changing them, even though I really want to!

The only thing I have reservations on the Savvy is that I would need to light my license plate differently and also I wanted to get your same body mounted tire carrier, so I believe I read that you had to trim it to fit with your Savvy tails?
I don't have personal experience with these, but it could be an option to light the license plate with the Savvy taillights.

That is true it would be hard to justify! How much lift do you have with your 35s? Is it a combo lift?

No body lift that I can see. Measuring the coils, tell me 4” lift. So I would have to say 4”! 😁

Got the TJ off-road a bit and did the Four Peaks Trail. Didn’t get too wild but I got some great pictures. I aired the 35s down a bit to help with comfort since there were quite a few washboards out here. So shoutout to Viair. It worked to air up, albeit slowly lol.

You may have seen these pictures posted in other threads but I wanted to get them out here from my wheel trip through Box Canyon AZ. A great time and I miss the nicer weather that’s for sure. It’s been over 100 the last couple weeks!

What’s a wheeling trip without engine heated burritos? Lol
