1. How many miles a year do you drive?
2. How much are you willing to pay extra in gas each month to have 35s vs 33s?

I really doubt regearing would save him as much gas as he wants too, jeeps just use to much gas, there's no way around that.

moving to 33s would only get you closer to stock which is not really that great either way.

OKAY!! I dont know where your at but here with my 35s with an automatic. I had to regear to get my milage back. of course you will need to retune it to get your shift points back to where they need to be ! I went with 5.13s and Im back to my 18mpg
