Do you have an automatic? I see you have 35s... I also had 35s and 4.10s, but I was only able to deal with it about a week before I had 5.13s swapped in. Best mod yet. Made my Jeep feel like I had another 50hp. I don't have to ride my brakes in parking lots anymore either.

I have the 6 speed. I definitely know what you mean about riding the brake (especially in reverse).
