On your Paj (91), for 33s, I would recommend a 2" body lift. Others seem to get away with it, but I believe it's too dependent on rim/tyre selection.

With 2" body lift, you may squeeze in 34" tyres, but I think 35s is too much for your engine. One of our regular members had 35s on a 3.5V6, and didn't like the loss of power.

I have 33s, and I like them. They have definitely affected highway cruising, but I have a 2.5" zorst which has helped it breathe a little - I don't know what a stock 3.0 would be like with 33s.

Offroad, the clearance is great (and the body lift helps even more), but it does affect low range gearing too.

On the whole, I would recommend it. :)

I have a 3.5L V6 with 2" sus lift & 2" B/L, currently running 32" A/Ts on patrol 16x7" rims
my engine doesn't even notice the 32"s in fact it seems to perform better with them on that when I had the stock 28"s on
when my current tyres wear out I'm gonna put on some 33" muddies
I doubt the vehicle will even notice the 33"s.

OGJON - what type of 32's are they? Not many brands make 32s do they? Always seems to be 31->33.

You won't notice it until you go back to little wheels :D Then it is very noticeable.

Andres, 32 is a very common tyre size, 32x11.5x15, a very similar size to 265/75R16.

M8 I took my 32"s off to spray my rims black & put the stock tyres & rims back on they were back on for approx 1 month & I noticed that I had less power with the stockers on than when the 32"s are on
with the 32"s my rig seems to perform & handles better

good yr wrangler ATR's

32"s are a very common tyre size & are available in most brands
but most ppl tend to put on 33" muddies
