Are you still planning on going to 15's?
Look at the KM2's, most people like them.
You could spend just a little more & get the MTR kevlars.
I'm sure 4 wheel parts will give you a good deal on the Procomps.
When I first got mine I paid $1200 for wheel & tires + the warranty.

If its just for looks, don't waste your money. Your jeep looks good already. 35's= poor gas mileage, new gears, more wear and tear.

Now if it is for better off road performance, go with the 37's like Chris.

I have the KM2's and love them off-road.
They handle very well on road also.
As they get older, they will start to howl like a typical mudder.
So, I need to balance and rotate mine again.
I probably have well over 30,000 miles on mine and they still have lots of tread left.
They are starting to look more like a crawler tire though.

KM2's seem to work good.

[quote="casaintsfan"]i wanna see it with the new springs!!!!![/quote]


Going to try to get the front end done this weekend. Springs, speedbumps, shocks, SS brake lines, adjust pinion angle, re-center axle, re-center steering wheel and adjust toe. I also need to install my stabilizer with the new Poly bracket. Ill probably cuss allot and drink a few Coronas along the way.

Then get to the back springs, RK degree shims, shocks, bumpstops, EVO rock stars, SS brake line, adjust pinion angle, and re-center axle.

Then cross my fingers and hope it drives good. If not, ill have to go flip kit and do some additional tweaks.
