Default Stepping up to 35" tires

I could not find this is in the forum. I currently have a 3" lift on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I am running 33" tires and I am stepping up to 35" tires. They will be installed on my stock rims. What else do I need to do? I have heard about recalibrate speedo and other stuff.

Most likely wheel spacers due to too much backspace on stock rims.

1.5" spacers, procal or tuner, trim pinch seams, gussets.

As already mentioned, you'll probably need wheel spacers if you're keeping the stock rims

Buy yourself a procal module or a superchips flashpaq to get your speedo back to normal

You may also want to think about a tire carrier. I know plenty of people say the stock carrier can handle a 35" tire ... it's just my personal opinion that you should think about upgrading.
