6/2012 JKUR 6spd on 33's (currently not lifted) with 6800 miles. 140 mile round trip two or three days per week (plus local and trail). Highway driving is usually 65-70mph, 2300-2400rpm in 6th and I'm averaging 20mph (calculated, not dash).

Just make sure you torque them down to spec and drive 100miles or so and check the torque again. I also have down a few 100mph runs with it to lol.
