Go with the 35's, the 4.10's are more than capable for them. You never hear anyone say, "I wish I had smaller tires".

Just to confirm, do you have an auto or Manual?

With 33's I am considering going with 4.56 gears. I think most people here would agree that you should go higher then 4.10 gears if you are putting 35's on there.

4.10's and 35's are not that bad. that is what i was running until i went to the 5.13's. OD still works on the flats but any kind of grade and you can forget about it.

i just put 35s on my 07 unlimited with the factory 410 gears , its not to bad , you will have to turn off your overdrive it is useless with the 35s, im going to be upgrading to 513s in the future , , but it can be done , no problem , you just loose a lil more on your take off and you lose your o/d ... p.s the 2 in lift will be tight , and if you plan to wheel the JK disconected you will rub your fenders

No question about it, go with the 35's. Here in the hills of Tennessee I do turn the overdrive off any time I am going up a hill of any length, but other than that the 4:10's will peform fairly close to stock.

I have 35's and I've done just the bolt on stuff with the motor. I have plenty of power and no problems on the trail getting where I need to go.

I have 4.10's and honestly I'd have to think twice before even going with 33's, but I do use the JK to tow. If you don't tow, 33's would probably be fine, but I think it would be a real dog with 35's and 4.10's.
