Default 35in Duratracs with manual 3.75 question

First how is it, is it as bad as everyone makes it out to be?

input would be greatly appreciated

I'm running 35" KM2's under a 3.5" AEV lift. Stock 6-speed manual with 3.21 gearing and I've experienced minimal power loss. I was still able to climb loose sandy hills in 3rd gear with extra power to spare.

I'm running 35" Duratracks with 3.73 and Superchips. I don't think it's bad at all. Haven't wheeled it yet, but all indications on the road make me feel like it will do fine on the trail. I'm currently using the 87 tune, tried the tow tune, but wasn't impressed.

I've got the Duratracs with a 3.73 auto. Daily driver, been on a couple of easy trails, and no problems so far. Duratracs are a little lighter weight tire than some of the others in the same size. I noticed the loss of power initially, but I've gotten used to it. You'll be fine, unless your last ride was a V-8 sports car.

same thing here, but 4.10 gears. i ran towing for a few tanks of gas and 87 octane gave me the better mpg by ~1. any difference in performance between the two wasn't noticeable.
