Thanks. Mine is a daily driver as well and although I like the idea of 37's it not feasible for my use. As I always say, 35's are perfectly fine for the mall... Seriously, the 35's meet my light to moderate wheeling.

It will definately be worse with an auto than a 6spd. From what I've read if you reprogram your Jk it will help a little till you get gears. If you ask around I'm sure you will find many who didn't re gear first, How doable it is will depnd on how your JK is set up, 3.21s. 3.73s, or 410s? Manual or auto? Do you live in a flat area or alot of mountains/hills? Around town or highway? Etc...
Mine is 3.21 with 5sp auto. So it is not bad co pared with before. But i obviously feel loose of power and torque.

I didn't do much offroad wheeling. Lately i did at death valley, actually it was not bad.

But i still want to do regear and go up to 35'

I also live in the DC area, I got my gears done pretty reasonably--300 an axle for labor.
