Yours an Auto or 5 speed? I'd agree 35's for the future if you have 5.13's

5.13s w/33s and an automatic transmission are nearly identical to a Rubicon 6 speed with 4.10s and 32s. The manuals had appropriate gearing out of the factory, and the automatics have frustrated people since day one.

Take a look at the FAQ,
