33" or 32" tires on 2.5 tj wrangler?

[liapyTJ]

I have a straight drive 2002 wrangler 2.5 4 banger and am probably going to get some 32's but am really wanting to go with 33's. Has anyoune got 32's or 33's on a 2.5 jeep with 411 gears that can give me some info on how they drive both onroad and off, how they affect gas milage etc. I plan on doing an 8.8 swap with 4.88 gears when my financial situation is better. Thanks.

mine used to be the same thing, after i put 33's on it i compleatly lost 5th gear and had NO NO NO power to up a small hill on the road, sometimes i just left it in 3rd and just floored it for a while to keep up the speed haha... then i stuck in some 4.88's and WOW what a difference. but Now i took out my 2.5 4cyl and stuck in a built 4.0 6cyl with all the supporting mods. I do have a rear dana35 with 4.88's in it that is compleatly ready to bolt into your jeep that i took out this past saturday for $350, which is a whole lot cheaper than doing just your gears. you could buy my axle and then regear your front axle to match it AND have a compleate rear axle left over for spare parts or to re-sell.
