I responded to a couple of your threads. Basically to run 35's you'll have to crank the t-bars for at least 1.5" and get the 3" body lift. Once you get the tires on you will see where you need to cut. It was def. worth it. The added clearence you get from going from stock to 35's is unbelievable. I run a tire made by Avon called a Mud Terrain SXT its the metric 35". I had them sipped, they are wearing very slowly, they grip great in the mud and the sand. http://pic7.picturetrail.com/VOL208/1430919/3201319/39541982.jpg

It kind of looks like it's doing a nose dive here, but thats just because it was parked on a down hill.

should be no problem on the wrangler MTR. The size of tires is a metric 35, I think it's like a 315/75/16......

really they howl? I hadnt really noticed, I thought they were quiet, maybe it's just I'm used to driving my TJ with 36" bias ply tires and a top full of holes. LOL! I had mine sipped, that sure makes a ton of difference when the roads get slippery.
