2dr is rated to 2500lbs and the 4dr is 3500. With 35's you'll still be ok depending on gearing. The tongue weight may sag your rear but should do descent.

When you add a lift & larger tires, the manufacturer's GVWR & tow rating decrease. I forgot the percentage, but the larger the lift / tires the greater percentage loss.

A Jeep isn't designed to be a tow vehicle anyway, so only small trailers or boats should be no problem.
