As Korisu56 knows, both my Jeeps are on 33's (CJ7 and XJ) and they just plain work.
I have driven both of my Jeeps cross country to Moab, Utah (3000 hwy miles round trip) and run most of the trails there for a week, then drove home.
As well as taking my XJ to CO for 12 days, with 2000 miles hwy (roundtrip) and 1200 miles off road, driving different trails and mountain passes.
I honestly believe, for a daily driven Jeep, that 33's are the biggest one should run. (on CJ/YJ/TJ's and XJ's/Grands)
I wheel my Jeeps fairly hard, and have fun with them, without breaking the bank.
If I was doing more exploring, and less wheeling, I would run 31's, as they are adequate for 99% of "back country exploring", plus it keeps the COG nice and low, and you have less of the costs that x32792 referred to.
The best mod you can do to your Jeep right now?
"SEAT TIME!"
Driver ability and knowledge of ones rig is the best thing one can do.
A skilled driver can take a stock/slightly modified rig more places than you'd think.
And more importantly, will know when not to take thier rig somewhere.:ylsmoke:
