I think it's just fine with 33's. Here was mine - stock 33's with AEV 2.5" dual sport. Keep in mind if you are heavy, and I was heavy at a little over GVW, with 35's you will most definitely want to re-gear to probably 4.88's or even 5.13's. Keeping the 33's you are 'ok' with stock 4.10s for the Rubicon. Re-gearing is expensive. I have a busted body and with the AEV 2.5" dual sport lift and stock 33's I was still able to get in good enough without needing step stool or power step.. I'm short as well.

Hey folks,

I've done put.... a lot of money into my jeep the past couple of months. While 35's are on my list of purchase I don't have the cash to blow on that for a couple of months at this point since everything I've bought is to put safety systems on (blind side monitoring for example which alone was $2500), and to get ready for offroading. The truck is a bit short for me and kinda uncomfortable to get into at this low height and I wanted to add the 2" spacers and just ride on the stock tires for a bit. Was wondering if anyone had some pictures of theirs with this temp setup so I can see how goofy it would look and whether I should just wait to do it all at once.

Thanks!

Remember you’re going to get lift putting 35’s on…I’m running that way with a 11/2” spacer up front for the steel bumper and the winch weight. My right butt cheek is now a perfect fit over the seat bolster When I get in!

That would be close to about the height of my old F150 tremor which was perfect. Basically what I"m after.

I’m 6’3” if that helps…

Nice setup! Regearing is in my future already I can tell. I'll likely end up trying it myself though, and use my brother (an actual real mechanic) to bail me out when I fail at it. What would be the deciding point between 4.88's or 5.13?

I'm a little shorter at 6'1" but I like to step up some. I have some steps already installed for my kids so that'll help.

Chorky, good to see you back on the forum!

I try to pop in now and then to see what everyone is up to. It's a great forum with a lot of good friendly knowledgeable people.

Pinion size and Dana Spicer .

Pinion size is not a deciding factor.

So they say.. never convince me sorry

One last try.

How many people are running 5.13 and having trouble breaking pinion gears?

 

[Stan H]

Are you asking me to collect statistics.?
I am sure more are making it than not but why take the risk .
