35" tires on 3.55 gears
I know this has been hit before, but how many of you guys run 35" tires 3.55 gears (lifted or leveled)?
I was at the dealership this morning and test drove that setup with an Eco. I was looking to get a 3.73, but they had a 3.55 pre-lifted to test drive. I really couldn't tell much power loss compared to mine. So I was thinking of just lifting mine.

There is gonna be power loss. But the bigger issue is the strain on the tranny.if I was gonna run 35 id regear to 4.56 but thats just me.u can run that setup but id deff recommend getting a tuner to help out

I have 3.55's 35's it isn't anway terrible but there is power loss (especially noticeable when off road) I am upgrading 4.10's soon. Wanted some power back but I feel 4.56 is a little over kill with these 6 speeds etc. But that is just my opinion....

Thanks guys. I had looked into regearing, but I have a 2012 and I haven't been able to find any. My local offroad guy said he hasn't regeared any 11+ models.
Has anyone regeared late model years?

Just got 4.56 G2 gears installed in my 2011.
Real glad I went with those instead of the 4.10. I saw the biggest issue with 35" tires when towing 5k over the mountain passes and the 4.56's make a huge difference. On the road around town I never felt I needed more power with the 3.73's, but now with the 4.56s it's even more fun to drive around town. Highway driving is fine. I might be seeing a slight decrease in mileage, which was expected, but I think a majority of the drop in mileage is due from being on the throttle more.
