yeah you will need a lift to fit 35s a 2.5 ome would do the trick if you want 37s or 38s you will need at least 3.5 lift like a rubicon express or skyjacker and do a little trim on the guards

Personally I think you'd need to 're-gear' your diffs for 33" tyres. Coming off an EVO you're not going to feel like you're moving if you don't. Also by doing your diff ratios you'll spend more time playing and less time fixing!

Your factory wheels are 17x7.5 inches. You need to go to a 17x8 inch wheel with some decent backspacing me thinks.

Yes, it's definitely going to be one thing after another, but hey... That's all part of the fun. I would suggest either the Rubicon Express 3.5" superflex kit or the Skyjacker 4" kit. People are running both of them very happily and can easily fit 35" tyres under there (probably even 37s).

JUST DO IT.
