I haven't had to take it on the freeway yet where I heard is where you notice the most loss in power. Driving to work and around town though I don't notice any loss in power. I do have a manual though too if that makes any difference.

Only question is 4.10 or 4.56 for me. Planning on 35s for my next tire.

With 35" the 4.56 would be good or better with 4.88.

4.56. I have a buddy with 35s and 4.88s and he says it's constantly hunting for gears on the highway. He wishes he had 4.56. Another friend has 35s and just put in 4.88s and is immediately buying 37s for same reason.

I'm a newbie here and new to the build thing. I have a 2011 Wrangler Sport. Just upgraded to Goodyear Duratrac 275 70 18 tires. Jeep is stock other than the tire size increase and I have noticed rubbing when turning sharp. Considering 1.5" wheel spacers or a 2" lift or both. Also noticed a slight HP decrease and slight gas mileage decrease but I'm thinking that's normal due to the larger tires. Any advice would be awesome.

The terraflex 1.5" leveling kit I put on my jeep cleared my 33s just fine plus the kit wasn't a punch in the wallet. Easy install I did myself in about 3 hours with a floor jack and two stands. It was the 2" in front and 1.5" rear spacer kit from terraflex
I don't think a lift is the answer. You need either wheels with the proper backspacing, wheel spacers (I'm not a fan), or washers on your steering stops.
