Why are you looking into 4.10s? You want to re-gear? With 35s, I'd say go a minimum of 4.88s

I also have the isolator under there to hold the clevis. I notched it for the clips.

ALSO...Is it a big deal if I run my 35's on the stock tailgate for a month or so till the bumper gets here?

Seth, i dont think so if its for a short period of time. i personally dont have 35s (yet) but intend on getting them. I know my cousin Brendan (BBirish) has a 35x12.5 on a 15 on his tailgate. He's had it on for a while now but the tailgate is starting to squeak, but i dont know how long its been on there that it squeaks. Hes definitely someone to ask though.

HAHA yup yup, me and B are cousins! I was at the mall the other day and saw a lifted 4 dr in silver on 35 MTRs with a rugged ridge bumper, lights on it, rock rails, no spare, and black diamond plate on the spare door. Had a black JK forum decal also. Txtd be to see if maybe it was you. the guy didnt have a snorkel though.
