Wheels with a lift??

Don't know about your TJ but my bro and cuz both have JK Unlimiteds and they put 33x12.5s under theirs w/ only a 3" lift. They still have plenty of clearance under the wheel wells w/o any rubbing issues. I guess it all depends on how much your suspension flexes. I'd say it would be fine for daily driving and moderate offroading.

BTW- you're subject line sounds like a modern native american name. My name is "Wheels with a Lift!"

Its do able for the street. That's what tmiller was running and he went to RC that way. It rubbed a good bit but for the street and the beach you will be ok. The biggest thing is how slow it will be but as I said it can be done.

what do you mean how slow like the top end will be a lot slower?

Well in theory you will have a higher top end, but the engine will never be able to reach it. No what I meant is you will feel the vehicle become much slower off the line as well as a lot harder to keep at speed on the highway. The smallest hill will slow you down. somthing else to keep in mind is it will take you longer to stop then it did before.

Glade to see you are getting it together

Yea what he said, and get your pinion seals replaced..

this is the rule of thumb.
CJ/YJ- 2in= 31's
TJ- 2in= 32's
JK- 2in= 35's (33's fit stock)

If you add a 1-1.25" body lift, things will be much better.

You can get the JKS 1.25" for around $100.
