I went from 32" BFG AT's to 35" dura's and my jeep pretty much felt the same. I also have 3.21's.

Ya now that's got me thinking. Maybe I font want km2s. I don't want to buy 37s and they actually are 35s. Are rather buy a different tire and save the money

This is got me thinking if I also should buy a 37's so, I can get closer to a true 35! I plan to regear to 5.13's at same time.

Just get a 35 that runs close to its advertised size. Goodyear mtr Toyo mt and Nitto trailgrappler are a few that come to mind. I think the 37" Km2 runs 35.8" but I wouldn't spend the extra money considering its true size. Just my opinion
