I have a 2007 auto 4:10 sahara jk with 25,000 miles on it. Have had argent pintlers and KM2 33's for the last few year. I love the way it looks and rides. I live in the city so most driving is down boken city street, snow in the winter and occasional highway driving a few times a month. I am now thinking of getting a 2.5 lift and 35" trail grapplers. Question - will this make highway driving sluggish? As of now i can do 80 just fine when needed on the highway and can fit in any garage. Anyone think I should just stay with 33's. I would hate to lose my comfortable ride, power and ability to still park in indoor garages. Would an AEV 2.5 lift and Nitto 35"s be less comfortable to drive and feel sluggish with 4:10's. Any thought's would be helpful.

 

I'm also interested in this. I am buying a 2007 auto X with 4.10's. It currently has a 2.5" lift and 33s but I'd like to go to 35s after a bit. Subbed.

 

Guess I will just keep my km2 33's and no lift since no one can say that a lifted jeep with 35's rides the same or better.

 

I have a 2009 jku with a 3 inch zone lift and duratrac 35s. The ride was pretty close to stock until I aired the tires to the correct psi and now I feel it rides better than stock . I have a flashpaq with 3.73 gears and it pushes enough power for me being that I live in the flats. If your considering getting 35s just do it! You wont regret it!

 

x2 - 35's are the way to go

 

I've run 35s for 30,000 miles on my daily driver running 4.10 gears and full specs in signature below. With all the lights, winch and junk on mine it cruises fine at 75, it will go above 80 but doesn't like it. Resetting the shift points with a Procal made a noticeable difference to highway comfort and mpg. Enjoy 35s....

 

I'm afraid to move to a 35 because my driveshaft already makes enough cranky noises as it is... I just know 35s will spin in right in two!

 

This shouldn't be a concern for the OP, with a 2-2.5" lift.

OP - I've not run Nitto but hear they're loader than many alternatives, why are you choosing those ?

 

I have 07 jk sahara 4.10's w/35's and 2.5 jku tf lift. Nets a bit higher lift for my 2dr. I can go 85 if I wanted but speed isn't the problem, it's inclines that kill the jeep with my setup. I consistently downshift to 4th to maintain 70 up a hill. Mpg went way down too but I haven't made corrections to anything and need a superchop.

 

Looking to go from 33 km2 to 35 trail grapplers not mud grapplers, i like the look of the tires, just don't want to lose
my ride quality of km2 33's running at 28 psi, right now they ride great but like everyone else, i prefer the look of the
35 with a lift. Are the trail grapplers loud as well? Maybe I will stick with the km2's since i like them.
