Thanks everyone for the opinions. I won't get the Jeep for another year or so. I'm entering my senior year of HS and my dad's giving the Jeep to me for once I go to college. I think I'll go with the Duratracs. Right now the Jeep has BFG A/Ts with the size 265/70 17 but I wanted to go just a little bit bigger and thought the Goodyear's looked better. I'd go with 35s but I really dont have the cash for them or the regear. I'd have to regear definitely with all the mountains and such around here. If swapping gears and 35s werent so expensive, I'd go that route. Thanks for the help everyone. I'm just trying to make a list of mods to buy once I acquire the brute, lol! Again, thanks a lot!

I've got 3.73 stock gears in mine right now. Have had 315/70/17 Duratracs on for 10,000 miles. Lost a little power but not enough for me to want to regear yet.

Honestly don't have any experience wih gears. Since you have a manual transmission, you could do a 4.88 where an auto would need a 5.13. At least that's what i've come to understand from reading some posts.
