Did u notice a big power drop or a harsher street ride?
I already have a 2.5" rock krawler max travel lift with long travel shocks and AEV pintler wheels. Oh ya and 4.54 gears.
Think I will notice much of a difference?

Are you just talking street or offroading too? Why are you considering the move up to 35's?
In my case I got rid of my stock tires and wheels soon after I purchased my jeep May 09 and bought 33's for the look basically(more rugged looking tires and wider stance) I liked that look so much that within eight months I sold those tires and went up to 35's ..... From Mickey ATZ's to MTZ's ... I noticed a slightly rougher noisier ride but not much more BUT I actually preferred the feel and sound..... maybe weird but it felt like I was driving a fun vehicle..... Lost a bit of mileage but got some of it back with a superchip..... The trade off 33's to 35's were well worth it to me anyways ...... now have 37's Goodyear MTR's w Kevlar waiting to go on my summer wheels come spring..... You won't have to re gear in my opinion anyways..... I'm a JKU auto with 5.13 and by the way loved them offroading too

I have 3:73 from the factory. I didn't notice a difference at all from 33" to 35". My only concern is the speedometer, it's off about 5 mph but some day I'll grow up and get a programmer.

Pros:
Drives easier over some obstacles.
Looks nicer - almost like the JK was designed to use 35in tires.
Had to add spacers, but those also add to the cool factor.
Cons:
Gas mileage dropped like crazy.
Performance lowered (takes longer to accelerate).
Had to add spacers to prevent rubbing inside when turning front wheels.
Without a lift the tires still rub the lower fender when suspension travels up.
I have a couple sets and use mostly the 33 for daily drive and change for the 35 when going offroad.

With the 3.8, I went 33 to 35. Fortunately, I did gears (4.88s) just before. Performance is fine but I have the superchips set on 91 setting. However, I lost about 1-1.5 mpg from my already horrible mileage. If two or three tires appeal to you, get good reviews, priced right, etc....consider weight. Big deal when it comes to mileage & brakes.
