Constant downshifting on inclines drives me nuts.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'd run stock on the 4.10's until you can afford a proper regear for either the 33's or the 35's. If you're absolutely set on making a change without regearing, the 33's will be less frustrating, albeit not as cool looking.

I also got a chance to see the same size duratracs on the same color JK Unl. that I have and they look good!!
I have 315/70/R17 GY Duratracs, and at 33 psi mounted with heavy bumper, they measure 33.75" tall.

If you don't already...just get a superchip and you'll be fine.

It's pretty flat around Teutopolis isn't it? It's been awhile since I have been in your area, but if it's like I remember, you'll have no problems with 35's and your 4.10's.

Oh yeah nothing but corn fields around here (boring) with the occasional hill or two to climb up. So as you can guess not much rock crawling, just playin in the mud! Thanks for the input!

35's give you the WOW factor. 33s just are a little bigger. Spend the Money get the 35's

Im running 35s on a 4.10 auto. With overdrive off it drives just fine. People drink too much koolaid and immediately think regearing is a must. Drive it and see
