I had one of the larger avaliable lifts. You won't fit 35's without some serious trimming. Realistically I wouldn't have wanted the truck any taller; ie top heavy that it was on 33's.

I run 265/75R16 BFG All Terrains and they feel as though they are the perfect size. I can pretty much go anywhere my friend with a YJ with 37's can go.

I like the 265/75s, but I feel like I'll enjoy the 285/75s a bit more. It's not much of a difference in size or price.

^ I like that size! I hadn't considered it. With the strength of the MT KM/2's sidewall I think it'd still be quite an alright tire around corners. I'll go check to see if they sell them.

It's a good size, but anything bigger than a 32" can be a little rough on your CV's and axles if you aren't cautious. (I learned this the hard way at Conclave.)

Because of the added rotational mass?

I'm sure others can explain it better than I, but if you lose grip and then suddenly one tire catches, it can snap a CV or axle.

With smaller tires there usually isn't enough force to cause much damage when this happens, but with a 33" or larger tires you can shatter a CV in the blink of an eye. Here's what mine ended up looking like...
