Default 33s vs 35s 3 inch vs 4 inch help!

I own a 2010 JK Sport.... stock gears. im lost between a BDS 3 inch lift or a Zone 4 inch lift with either 33s or 35s. Its a DD and i do moderate wheeln (all mud and trails no rocks)
Do i have to regear with 35s? How bad will 35s vs. 33s hurt me?
I know there are other forums about this bit i need up to date advise

Just food for thought.....when deciding what your gonna go with think to the future and decide if your wanting to go bigger later..... If so act accordingly now to save you money later.... I have a 4" lift and 35". And I'm real glad I did...... Just food for thought......

I believe 35 is max you can go without re gearing.

That is what I'm banking on, with the JK Bushwacker flat fenders instead of the lift. Just ordered the 35" yesterday.

Anything above 3" of suspension lift requires more things that should be done to make it work so to speak. I have 3" on 33s. I am very satisfied with it. I will be going to 37s with a regear next and hopefully upgraded axles. I wouldn't go above a 35 tire if I didn't plan to regear or upgrade axles.
