Default 35's

A little question here... I'm running some 33's, if I change for some 35's, do I have to regear?

You don't have to regear, but you may want to regear depending on the stock gear ratio of your Jeep. if you have 4.10's you will probably be fine with 35's. I think some are even fine with 3.73 and 35's. Anything else, like 3.21, your probably going to want to get some power back with gears.

If you have 4:10's on a manual, you'll be okay. If you have an auto or any other gears, you'll want to think about regearing.

He has a Sahara, I think the tallest gear you could get stock is a 3.73, correct me if I am wrong. If its a 6 speed, it wont be that bad, not sure about an auto.

Towing package wasn't required. My 07 Sahara has 4.10 without towing. It was a pretty common "upgrade".

I think that you also got 4.10's with the automatic tranny back in '07.

I had 4.10s with my auto 07. they were halfway ok with my 33s, but kinda sluggish. With 35s they were unbearable. I now have 5.13s and it is the best mod yet.

Had 33" tires then added 5.13"s, great.
Just bought 35" tires, now not so great.
Can not imagine anything less than 5.13's with 35"ers.
