[QUOTE="Ballermaris, post: 423467, member: 18206"] Besides factoring in the weight, you should consider the stock gearing. Many left the factory with 3.21 gearing. You add bigger tires, you need to change out gearing. Also don't forget the mandated by law recalibration of the speedo too. I settled for electronic aftermarket lockers Eaton's 4.56's front and rear. I am just about finished with it, and just need to add electric braking and the better safe than sorry engine oil and transmission heavy-duty coolers. I noted that prior to the modification for the lockers, the JK that I bought used had never been fully configured properly for the taller 35's that were on it. So far the JK drives rather differently, less gear hunting. I have to break it in like a new vehicle and have the fluid changed out after 500-600 miles (per warranty) so that the break-in is done right. Thankfully mostly short distance driving in town with little highway speeds no greater than 65 MPH. I sometimes ponder the dealership's rationale to throw on the taller tires and not doing a proper job of setting the rig up. I guess because they might get warranty work in the end. [/QUOTE]
