I **LOVE** my KM/2s. I've got about 1000 miles on them now, and I haven't noticed any noticeable drop in gas mileage after upgrading from the stock 32s.
They also wheel like crazy. On memorial day went rock crawling in the light rain and I was pulling up slippery, muddy rocks like nobody's business. The two other rigs with me that day that had to take other, easier lines were none too pleased.

Looks awesome. I am in the process of doing a budget boost and want to do a 34-35 inch tire. I see that in your signature you indicate that you sold the Treaflex lift or something in it. Could you clarify what that means. If this is the TF BB with 35's, I am happy!
CONGRATS....Another happy Jeeper!!!!

Congrats!
"JK": I had the same exact experience upon switching to the 35s. I felt the Rubicon gearing was too low to begin with as well (perhaps DC finally made a decent decision in gearing a Jeep properly for larger than stock tires?? surely not!
). My Hypertech and 35s have not only made the gearing far more functional, but have increased on-road 
as well as off-road
performance. I attribute the on-road improvement to the wider stance achieved with the backspacing and wheel-width difference from stock as well as the stiffened suspension over even the Rubicon stock springs/shocks.
In conclusion:
Congratulations! Have a blast out there.
