I'm running 32 inch trail grapplers right now and they're wearing terribly so I'm going to need new tires soon and I want to upgrade to 35s. I have a 2013 jku sport with 3.21 gears and stock wheels with 1.5 inch spidertrax wheel spacers. I plan on getting the 2.5 inch teraflex budget boost lift kit. Thanks in advance

Okay I'm editing based on responses. I have an automatic and I live in the fayetteville Arkansas so it's insanely hilly everywhere. But the tires won't weigh much and they actually measure out to about 34 inches. It's the nitto Terra grapplers

There's only about half a million threads about this on the internet, but don't worry about doing any research. Surely someone else can do the work and answer for you.

Yes you can. Maybe some slight rubbing on bumps. The 2.5 won't have issues

I personally think 3.21's and 35's are not a great match. I had 33's on my 2013 jku with 3.21's and was looking into regearing when I just bit the bullet and got a rubi with 4.10's.

I run 35s with 3.21s. I've done it for over a year now. It is a dog but it works. With that being said, I am re gearing in the near future mainly for better offroad performance.

I don't mind it too much on the road. Even off road it isn't bad, but lower gearing will of course be better.

3.21 will dog on hills depending your 35s style and weight more or less doggy. But if you don't mind doggin uphill it'll work
