2010 JKU 35" tires with an automatic
Anyone running 35" tires with an automatic that have had any trouble with major loss in power or gearing trouble? I'm thinking of putting on the RC 3.5" soft ride lift with 35's and looking for any input you may have.

I've got 35s, 3.5" of lift, 3.73s, auto, with a pro cal, and im ok with how it drives but feel like I really should re gear it at some point in the future.

I think it depends on where you drive. I have a 10 w/ an auto and it was ok with 3.73s as long as you were on relatively flat ground. On the highway in the mountains around here it was painful. Went to 5.13s and what a difference. All depends on what you can live with.

As mentioned, a tuner or procal will correct your shift points, which will help, and turning off the overdrive will help with gear hunting when going up hills etc. Obviously, a regear is the best option.
