Then their Other car is a Ferrari. There is absolutely nothing sluggish about a 3.8 with 4:88 or a 2012 with 4:56. My last 3 cars were an fx35, g37, and a 350z. I picked up the jeep after those. 35's with 4:10 yes that is sluggish but not with 456. I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with you here.

35s with a 3.6L on 3.21 gears...no.
Im running 32x10.50 tires on 3.21 gear ratio with the 2012 3.6L. Its sluggish as shit. 4hi in a field second gear pedal to the floor barely moving. Pass on 35s without regearing.
35s and 3.21....any mud, water,hill etc Im screwed I think that unless people have driven the 3.6l they can't comment on what it could run. Lol
Im not dropping 3k on something Im not sure about. But by going with 5.13 i know ill have the torque and crawl rate. If i wanted to go to 37s or 40s after...i have the gearing and locker for it already

I agree completely especially if you have a rubicon with factory 4:10's. if you have 3:73's going to 35's will reduce you close to 3:21. Is 3:21 suitable? For highway driving yea but not for hardcore offroad.

I'm in the same boat. I want to get my 35's so bad!!! But I was worried about regearing. I have the 3.21 gears and the 3.6 Pentastar, but a 6 spd manual. I knew the tires would decrease my MPG, and for that i will regear in the future when I have the funds and plan to hit the trails more often.
if i replace for adding lockers i'd probably try 4.10's

1. I am doing about 2800 RPM's at 70MPH, little high but OK.
2. I loveeeee the lower end torque while wheeling offroad.
3. I plan to upgrade to 35's on the next tire change and think that will be the perfext sweet spot for those gears.
