Is that with an auto or standard?

FOr a 2012 it doesnt matter. See the chart below. The recommended gears for a 2012 on 35s is the same regardless if its standard or auto.

Prob cost that here too, not real sure. Regardless that is a lot of coin for something that is preference. When i had 35s on my 12 i thought it actually performed better than stock. Rpms were lower in top gear at cruising speeds, better mpg at 55 mph. I liken 37s on the 3.6 with 4.10 to my 2010 with 3.73 on 35. Feels similar but i do have better off the line acceleration in my 12 and 5 speed tranny

Thanks. That helps. I have an auto '12 JKUR that will be getting lift/tires at some point in the future and hate seeing the tach at 80mph...waaaay over geared for the stock sized tires. But it makes the decsion to jump to 35s a lot more easy
