Not wanting to re-gear, 35's will suck big time if you dont. Above 31's is asking to much of the TJ without regearing.

they can cope with 33s, but not optimally

And long term they will start to break things. Re gearing is ESSENTIAL in a modified (bigger than 31) TJ.

Seems pretty frequent now that mod'd TJ are on the market for a fraction of the build cost. eg There's one on AusJeep with 4.5 RE, SYE, ARB bar and sliders. 33's and rims etc but no ratios. 02 model for $22K
I ran 33's on stock gearing (manual) for the first 2 years. Do-able. But pinging under load when 4wding. True 35s would be too much IMHO.
