Best tire wheel combo for 2013 white JKU. I have KO2 33's on Black Fuels now.... want to go to 35's and maybe Gunmetal finish...thoughts?

Moto Metal 977 Link in gunmetal

Blackout around $140, black & milled inserts/edges around $190, gunmetal runs around $250.

I have the Moto Metal 962 w/milled accents with Toyo M/T 35's.

I dont think there's a best because it's all personal preference. 17x8.5 or 17x9 work well. Choose something lighter weight as you will feel the difference trying to turn heavy wheels and tires. I went from an 83 pound tire on stock wheels (not sure of weight) to a 73 pound tire on 21 pound wheels. I really like the DV8 882/886 which are black center and simulated or real beadlock. I ordered a set but they were backordered for 2 months so I bought mammoth boulder wheels.

Do you remember which model number the mopar lift is?

2007-2011
4dr: 77070089
2dr: 77070094

2012+ (includes driveshaft)
4dr: 77070088
2dr: 77070095

There may be AB, AC, AD, AE appended to the end based on the revision. Athens Dodge on Amazon will periodically offer these up at a significantly reduced price, but I tracked it for months before seeing it on sale. I bought mine from BAM Wholesale but you may find a site closer to you with a lower shipping cost. Shipping can be significant as these kits (at least the 2012+) come in a wooden crate.

when going 35s you will get into suspension problems, lifts,gears,angles etc. I'm no professional on the suspension but everyone's told me the same, when you get into 35s or higher you'll have to address the drivetrain also which leads into big money
