35 TN tires with a 2inch lift or no lift

[NYR_4_LIFE]

undecided about getting a lift with 35 in tires anybody have any pros or cons on way or the other ?

does its just come down to look or is their some functionality issues as well

If all things are equal what would look better

I'm considering a 2" lift with OEM tires. would love to see pictures before and after.

I think I am going 35s no lift. Less stress on components, no geometry changes to the ride.

2" and 35's for me. Want the better breakover angle, but don't want massive tires that may rub and hopefully I will be able to get her in the garage (8' door)

2" and 35's for me when the time comes. 37's are too big for what I need. 35's balance the stance nicely IMO.

This. Lift is at the shop. 37s or larger are for my Wrangler.

Depends on what you plan on doing with it. If you are a rock crawler the lift will benefit you. If not stay stock and maintain factory ride.

35’s will supposedly fit without any mods, even for spare stowage. So my plan is to get on 35’s and see whether I still need more clearance/break over when on the trails, and then go for a lift (most likely MOPAR 2”) to get that last bit of capability. I also prefer the look of a “stuffed” 35 on stock height vs. 2” lift with stock 33’s.

I voted with lift and 35’s.

I don’t rock crawl but I do disconnect and trail. I’ve had my current 3.5 lifted JKRU with 35’s tires about 2 inches from the fender . I would vomit and go into shock if my new gladiator smacked the fender . And imho I think it looks better.

My plan is to go to 35s on day one on OEM wheels. Then if I feel like I have a great reason to install the lift, I'll do the 2" Mopar lift kit.
My biggest concern with bigger tires and lift is the hit you take on performance. This truck is actually pretty well balanced right now with just the right amount of power. Any less and it's going to feel a bit like a dog. 37s will looks awesome but the added rotational weight is going to really bog it down IMO.
My other concern is whether or not with the lift it will fit in my garage without trouble. That'll be easy to gauge but I don't think it will be an issue.

Ditto for me. Lift, 35s and winch go on tomorrow.

IF you are heading to the rocks on weekends then don't get the lift. If your weekends are cruising thru Sonic drive in's then get the lift.

BIG time. Rotational weight depending upon wheels can climb into the 130's in lbs range ez. And the impact on MPG is significant. IMO if you want to run 37's be it for looks or OR you NEED 4:88 cogs.

It's okay, 35's would make it better though
