33s on 2" mopar?I love the look. I get a lot of compliments. I do off road a far amount and never hit axel. Most I scrape is dead center go Over a steep ridge.
Right. Most off road trucks dream of 33’s and that cost them a lot in parts and cutting plastic. That being said I went to 35’s at 27k miles. I wore the BFGs down quickly - lots of rough rocks and fast rutted gravel.Honestly, the 33 on 2" lift with rubicon high fender flares looks decent. If you think about it, many off road trucks come with 33 or less
Do you have a comparison pic before and after?Right. Most off road trucks dream of 33’s and that cost them a lot in parts and cutting plastic. That being said I went to 35’s at 27k miles. I wore the BFGs down quickly - lots of rough rocks and fast rutted gravel.
My 33's with Lift. didn't want to go too big. My Son has 3.5 lift 37's and killed his MPG etc. It was like night and day after doing it from Stock 255/70/R18 tires.I'm currently running BFG TA KO2s in 285/70/17. As much as I want to buy some new 35's, I'm hesitant to do so for several reasons:
-just bought new 33's for my JKU that I just traded for my JLU (was able to keep them and had JL stock tires placed on my traded JKU). Don't need an extra expense.
-been down that 35 road before with a previous JKU and dealt with the shortcomings of 35's (harsher ride, decreased fuel economy, etc) and don't want to be in that same boat again so to speak.
So show me your rigs with 33's on the Mopar 2" lift. I've seen plenty of pics of 35's & 37's on the Mopar lift but so far only 1 with 33's. Trying hard to be financially responsible and smart about this decision.
Thanks in advance.
i went from stock rubi wheels/tires to 315/70/17s and noticed a considerable drop in mpg. not a big concern but driving 200+ miles yesterday used up a whole tank of gas. on the freeway i put it in cruise control and would get up to 28mpg on the 33s. now im lucky to get 20mpg. and that's on stock rubi suspension. i guess it will get worse when i lift it?My 33's with Lift. didn't want to go too big.

im assuming you went with the 2.5"+ JKS disconnects since the mopar lift ends up at around 3.5"I don't often pay mind to the mileage. It's a Jeep, not a Prius. I knew what I was getting into. That being said, I'm up about 3mpg with the 35s. I saw 18.9 after a reset the other day. My jaw kinda dropped. I'm usually in the low 15s...
Side note, installed JKS Quicker Disconnects last week. Crazy.
My Jeep before and After. Really made appearance more Jeep. Took the Factory Rake away too. Not too big. That last photo is Google playing around. I noticed 1 MPG drop since lift and BFG KO233's 275/70/R18i went from stock rubi wheels/tires to 315/70/17s and noticed a considerable drop in mpg. not a big concern but driving 200+ miles yesterday used up a whole tank of gas. on the freeway i put it in cruise control and would get up to 28mpg on the 33s. now im lucky to get 20mpg. and that's on stock rubi suspension. i guess it will get worse when i lift it?
i think the rubi fenders is what makes it look kind of goofy on 33s. the sport/sahara fenders help fill in the gap.
That's the Mopar lift? It looks great. Most pics I've seen with Sahara/Sport and Mopar lift/33s look less proportional.My Jeep before and After. Really made appearance more Jeep.

Yeah. I have since moved to 35's though33s on 2" mopar?
Nope, 0-2". I even called JKS support and confirmed. All good!im assuming you went with the 2.5"+ JKS disconnects since the mopar lift ends up at around 3.5"
i just bought the 0-2" JKS since im currently on rubi suspension but now im looking to lift it more and figure i have to go back and buy the longer disconnects. i havent even installed these yet lol
