I went 33, then one week later sold them to get Toyo MT 12.50 35's. Although it looks a lot better and handles the obstacles with less issues i wish I went 37's with my 4:88 gears.
Lesson learned and 37's will be on my next list of upgrades [emoji16]
4.88s and 37s will be after c gussets and evo sliders control arms and steering upgrades.
Yeah I'm gonna weld some gussets on mine this week after truck Haven/ TDS

Just go with 37s and join the club. 35s are over rated
Ko2 opinions for 37's
Ko2 opinions for 37's
Are you asking for opinions? The KO2 is a great tire.. Hard to beat for an all terrain choice I loved mine and I'll run them again in a few years when it's time for new tires.

In my opinion, do the 35s. An Unlimited swallows 33s like they are nothing. I don't think you would be happy with those. If your already planning C gussets and a regear, your Rubicon running gear will be perfectly fine with 35s.
What lift do you run with your 35's? I am in the process of choosing a lift and I know I want 35's but just don't know what lift.
I'm running a JKS JSPEC 2" lift, originally with Fox 2.0s and currently with Ranchos. I am pretty light due to the soft top and half doors, etc. The lift netted me 3" of actual lift. With the full fenders I personally love the look. Not too much space between the tire and flares, but not too little either. Personally I would stick with the 2.5" range for 35s.

I'm running the fox 2.0's now but I'm debating on trying ranchos next. Which brand do you prefer?
The Fox shocks handle the big bumps at speed great, as they are supposed to. I did manage to blow 2 out in the rear (at different times). For my preference, they were a little stiff for daily driving and general off roading. So, for daily driving and off road mix, I prefer the Ranchos. My next build will likely end up on RS9000s, as I like the ability to adjust them to my liking.
