Awesome! Thanks for the answers guys! You are very helpful, and I have decided to go ahead with the 35"s. I have some more life in the Rubi tires that I have now, so I will be getting them after Christmas. I have some prep work for the bigger tires anyways! Whoo hoo 35's!

Yes your gas will change
I was getting 500kms a tank when stock.
Now I'm getting about 375kms a tank,but its a Jeep and I live 5 minutes from work so it doesn't matter to me.
I have the 4:10 and 35" tires and its just fine.No problems at all,and I live in Surrey Canada very hilly.
I have the 4:10's because of the tow package of 2007 models
If you ask me 4:10's are enough and I don't think I would go bigger than 4:88's

I have a 6 speed, 3.73's and 35's and never had any problem till this weekend. I was going through the Texas hill country. I had two kayaks on the roof and pulling a trailer, so it was to be expected that I wasn't really able to use 6th at all. It made me want a hemi this weekend.
But on a normal day on the road or wheeling, I have no problems.

Is that with your speedo re-calibrated with the 35's and getting 375km on a tank? If not you are probably getting close to 425km with your 35" tires as it probably close to 10% difference.
