Yes, i used the AEV procal and it helped a bit. The cold weather and the wind seem to really make it bad.

I have a 2012 JKU Sport Manual trans and 315 Duratracs on 17x9 wheels (measure 33.75 mounted at 29psi). Still working the 3.21 over here for about 9 months now. Been wheeling with it, several black diamond trails, including Badge of Honor trail Gold Mountain. Doable? Yes, even off road. Dropping into 4LO the thing is a beast. Now, that said...will 4.56 be WAY BETTER? Most likely. Re-gearing in March.

The biggest thing that I had to get used to when I went to 315s was how long I had to hold each gear before shifting lol! I'm in 3rd until about 60mph And 6th is pretty much completely non-usable.

i also have the 3.21 with 35's and auto. I did the superchips flashpac update to gearing and tire size with a noticeable difference. Engine is very responsive for DD. Havent been offroad yet but did haul a boat and it felt like it had the power and put it down sufficiently.

I have been okay with 3.21's on the street with 35's, but I am going to re-gear it to improve it off-road.

Not on 35s but on 33s with 321s and I've had no issues on or off-road. I'm coming from a 2000xj into this thing so it feels awesome. I probably will regear after my powertrain warranty runs out but see no reason to change things now

I'm pretty sure nobody in here would suggest 3.73 for 35's. most would say 4.10 or maybe even higher.
