Ok so I have saved up 2000 bucks and I need tires so that is were nost of it is going and seeing as 35s are practically the same price as 33s ima go with 35s... the problem is I'm only running 4.5 lift but I do have the stuff to raise 2 more inches... (will be done before installing new meats).. I figure with what's left I will get control arms cause I'm still using factory ones and go to the local pick and pull and get a 8.8, a tie rod off a zj, and a dual diaphragm brake booster and mc... would you guys do something else or does this seem ok.... here is some pix of my jeep.... ps sorry if in wrong section

Just keep in mind that the 35s are heavier than 33s so depending on your gear situation it may suck to drive more. Atm I have 33s on 3.07 which generally isn't horrible, except on steep hills.

Factory control arms and 4.5" of lift, soon to be 6.5" of lift. That would be the first thing I would worry about even before you get the tires. The angle there has to be terrible. I hope you are talking about factory uppers not lowers.

I have 4.5 with 2in spacers the control arm came with 4.5 lift so they are a little longer than stock but not much. I'm going to get some control arm drop brackets from rough country. They will do ever thing aftermarket control arms would and there way cheaper 190.00 and I'm comparing this to short arms not long arms. Long arms are the way to go if u have the cash.

I have factory 3.55 gears(hoping to stumble across a 4.10 8.8 cause I know were a 4.10 30 is) and I am running factory lca and uca's.... so I will order upper and lower control arms.... maybe a long arm upgrade if funds permit
