I have 3.21's, and the power loss was so minimal that I barely noticed...so you'll be ok. I'm actually running 285's (33's) now with the same 3.21 gears with no real issues.

Trust me, you'll be just fine with the 265/75R16's...that's what I switched to from the stock 225/75R16's. The overall diameter is almost as tall as the 255/75R17's that come on most JK's including the Rubicon...so no issues with rubbing and it won't cause any problems with your brakes because all JK's have the same brakes.
Here's mine with the 265's and no lift:

X2 on promising 255/75R16 won't rub. I got that size to replace the 225 stocks, and wish I'd gone bigger, like 285's w/ 2"BB.
3.21's, no real change. Speedo reads 11.3% slower than actual
