It's your tires. Toyo MT's are very aggressive and heavy. Go to a 275/70/18. You get the height of just over 33" tall but maintain the stock width. Little to no loss in mpg. Look into a tire like nitto terra grappler or BFG rugged terrain.

Another + for the 275/70/18s in a AT only I suggest the Goodyear Duratracs! Awesome tire and you still get the look of a MT! I went with 295/65/18s and they are great! I wanted the extra width...Everyone thinks they are a MT until tehy ride with me, can barely hear them!!! Do a google search for reviews, thats what I did and everyone from the Jeep world to the truck guys are raving about this tire, from tread wear to lack of noise to looks!!!
