[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 447794, member: 23341"] Agree 100 percent . I'm running 33" and have only scraped skid plates three times. .Granted not the Rubicon Trail but some gnarly trails . Jeeps were engineered to operate with what they left the factory with. There are allowances to go up maybe 1 tire size. Once you get into 35's or larger, add in a 3-4" lift . You can raplace control arms, track bar , gears , shocks, springs, brakes etc etc. But getting that factory geometry and reliability back is very difficult . I don't know how many threads I have read this last year where a lift is done and there are wobble, handling or host of other problems . Does anyone know the actual weight capability or tire size capacity of the front bearings & hub factory or aftermarket ? I've looked and wasn't able to find info on that . As if I ever was considering 35" that would be a primary concern along with adding larger rotors . As the roataimg mass on a 35 is significantly more than that of 31 or 33. [/QUOTE]
