That jeep looks great with the MH!
Lift kit? New rims and wheels?
The Sahara wheels are 18" narrow wheels, so the prior owner changed them out with 17" wider wheels to allow for more tire options. These are 33" or 285/70R/17.
A 2-1/2" lift maybe next year and some 35" tires.
Hate to jump in....but a Sahara's stock gears are in the 3.21 range.....if you go with 35s, I would consider a gear change.
The stock gearing will be a bit underwhelming with that big of a tire. Unless you are going to be doing some of our beautiful state's more difficult trails (which are very few that your Sahara cannot handle as is), then I would stick to what you have!! It looks great.
