Towing with 35s
Allright, i have looked till my eyes are bleeding, anybody out there running 35s with an auto/4:10 gears towing small trailers.
Please give me some insight, i realize i will lose power with the bigger tire, and will need to regear later, but is it something i will be able to live with for the time being. I tow a small 2 dirtbike trailer.

35's, stock gears, manual tranny, and I tow a small utility trailer quite often. I'm sure I've had more weight in it than two dirt bikes. You'll be a bit slower but you shouldn't have an issue.
I have a 4dr rubicon with 35's and 4.10 gears. I tow a 19 ft camping trailer in the summer. The weight of the trailer is nearly at the max towing capacity of 3500lbs. I live in CO and have towed up some pretty steep highways to reach my destination. It has done pretty well in this situation. I can tell you that on the highways were the speed limit is 75... I have struggled at times to keep it above 45 on hills. I am nearly ready to re-gear to 5.38's which will help dramatically.
I think with what you want to tow you will be just fine with your current set up- I would be surprised if you will be towing 2000lbs. Good luck

35s w/auto and 3.73 in Colorado. This weighs out at just over 2K fully loaded, haven't had any problems. I am in no way in danger of geting a speeding ticket, but does just fine. Probably regear at 30K miles...
You'll hate the lack of power, but OD Off will be semi-acceptable until you get the gears done. If you don't have a programmer, I would suggest picking up a Flashpaq. In addition to recalibrating for the tires and setting the shift points, the 'tow' tune is great.
