2011 Rubicon?
I have 35's with my '11 Rubicon and stock gearing with a manual transmission. The 35's improved the around town handling. I usually started in 2nd because the gearing was too low in 1st. Now first is good and I don't have to shift so much.
On the highway performance sucks when you reach a hill or need to pass....even in 5th gear. I sometimes drop to 4th for bigger hills.
I haven't been able to do a lot of wheeling since upgrading the wheels and tires, but playing around on a steep hill and hitting some rough fire roads in Cleveland National Forest, the 4-LO performance was great.
Overall, you can get by just fine with stock gearing and 35's. I would like to go a tad lower though (4:56?).
