So I ran into a problem. Brainstorming with my wife, on our prospective JKU sport, 3.73 gears, 6-speed, I was planning on getting EVO Leveling kit and take street tires off and put 35's on with enough backspacing, EVO C gussets, and just cut the fenders and pinch seams. After explaining this to my wife, she absolutely and positively does not want to cut the fenders. :/ So, this changes things as shes ok getting bigger tires, but we will be on a budget, I've already planned on getting some pro comp 15x8 rims (3.75" backspacing) and 35" Toyos, I dont want to keep the stock 16" rims, i wanted this tire upgrade to last a while. and going 15" was cheaper upfront than going 17", and after these tires wear down, i'll upgrade to 17"slabs and new tires anyway. But the lift, i just need something inexpesive $400-500 or less. down the road i will upgrade to probably the EVO 3" enforcer.
The alternative is EVO leveling kit, and run 33's on the 15" rims, which I would be ok with, but if i can work it out and get the 35's then that would be great! Re gearing would come little later closer to when upgrading tires and rims again. Am I better off just sticking with 33's and Evo leveling kit? Uses for Jeep will be mainly Family camping, mild to moderate trails for a while. I guess more geared towards overlanding style use, but still capable of going to OHV and having some fun, and once a year heading out west to explore/camp and run trails.
I know I don't have my Jeep yet, but ya'll are great in helping me plan, and answer my questions. Trying to learn all I can! And thanks for putting up with me!!! :thumb:I'd rather take the best route in reaching the end result than do it a couple of times, since finances are going to be slow in coming. And well, what else are you going to do without a Jeep but dream and constantly wish you already had it!
