35's with 3.21 Gears

That is what I have heard for both the 3:21 and 3:73 gears that it's bearable with 35's & 6spd. I am going to risk it and jump to 35's this spring with my 3:73 gear and 6spd and hope I don't need to re-gear for a year or longer and that the mountain passes won't beat my JKU too badly running this setup.

I have been running 34s on stock 3.21 gears for almost a year. It is tolerable but I am regearing soon. I lost 6th completly and must be on highway to use 5th gear. Off road it is difficult to go slow enough. It is doable while you wait to save for gears. With 3.73, u may be ok for long term depending on ur driving habits and off roading.

I don't think 35" are doable on any STOCK axle but the Rubicons...I actually put smaller snow tires on my Sahara 245/75R17 at 30.5" over the 32" stock tires to lower the torque band for winter driving.

I've seen 37's on Non-rubicons so I think 35's are doable. Heck I've got em.

Just drove back from work 60miles and reset my MPG reader and in 6th gear at 65MPH I get 25 MPG easy sometimes 26. In the city I get around 19-21. I drive pretty easy but not like a granny. I try to shift around 2100-2200 to keep the RPM's down. Does anyone have an idea why I am getting such good MPG's. It is super flat on the interstate I drive on.
