I have a stock JK 2010 with a 4" lift on 35" tires. I need to increase my gas milage
what are my options on a budget? Should i chip it, cold intake it,gear it or super charge it? I need about 4-6 mpg.

If you have an automatic, regear to 5.38s (the lowest for a non-Rubi used to be 5.13s, but I have learned that Richmond Gear now makes a 5.38 for a JK Dana 30).
If you have a 6 speed, regear to 4.88s.
Trade your tires for all-terrains and run them at about 30 psi. Also, run the lightest wheel/tire combination you can find.
Run a Superchips Flashpaq tuner.
Don't drive over 60 mph.
With the right gearing and setup, you can get as high as 23 mpg at 55 mph, 19-20 mpg at 60 mph, and as high as 16 mpg in town.
Don't carry any excess weight.

23mpg???? what the heck??? with 4" lift and 35's there's no chance in hell you'll get any of the milages you've posted....If someone is getting that for God sake post what snake oil device they put on that worked....I've never been able to get above 12.5mpg on normal driving..
