can you tell me more about your experience? I too have a 6MT and will be adding 35s and a 2.5 inch lift. I am having a hard time deciding between 4.56 and 4.88. What did your set up do to your MPG? Do the 4.56 on 35s feel any more get up and go vs the 33s and 4.10 or about the same? I’m leaning towards the 4.88s but it’s my daily and MPGs are a slight concern, second to getting a touch more acceleration.
It really depends on your intentions with your JT.

I went down about 1 MPG on average so not too noticeable on fuel consumption but it definitely made up for that in driving characteristics. 4.56 will not feel extra torquey or make a big acceleration difference it just feels like that's what the JT should have come with from the factory with 35s. 6th gear is now useable and 3rd and 4th gear are your main around town gears. I normally take (2) 3k mile trips a year that mixes freeway driving, overland/camp, and offroad. 4.56 allows me to run 75-80mph without getting into the high pressure oil pump. I think 4.88s would have limited my freeway cruisability. In 4low 4.56 feels like enough to power me over what I need to. Most importantly it feels natural on the road daily driving which is 90% of what my JT is used for.

thank you, very useful. I do a Colorado toWisconsin drive a few times so year so now you got me leaning back towards 4.56.

Running Metalcloak 3.5" Game Changer lift with 35's. Very happy with setup overall. Lot's of flex and great highway ride when slabbing to different locations. Still running factory 4:10 gears... may move to 37's but not without a gear change in the future. Not in a hurry as this setup has been great so far for my needs.

Approximately 10K with suspension change. She is fully loaded and heavy with all my gear...but ready to go and comfortable for me and the Mrs.

Are those the KMC Dirty Harry wheels? Either way I love, your rig looks great!
As a matter of fact they are! Combines two of my passions. And thank you!

My garage is door opening is only 82in, so the truck with the roof top tent fits in there right now with about 4in to spare between the highest point which is the tent ladder, and the door top.

I was thinking of doing a AEV 2" Lift and 35in tires, you guys think this will slide under? Probably barely but that's what I have decided on.

And whatever 35" tire I decided at the time, might be a WildPeak Again.

35” KO2’s and AEV 2” lift and Rubicon front springs and shocks all around.

I think 2” lift is good for 35s but starting around 2.5”+, the 35s start to look a little small, IMO.

Here’s a clean picture.

I agree, I think my tires look kind of small after the amount of actual lift I got from evo.

This is the problem I am running into. I've been eyeballing the Clayton Overland+ for mine to run with my 35" STT pros. I like that it includes everything to adjust the suspension geometry back into alignment, but it also runs fairly tall from what I can tell. I don't particularly want a super tall lift; I just want about 2" with nice quality adjustable components.

I wonder if Clayton offers softer/shorter springs to bring it down a touch?

I'd run 37s, but I'd also like to still be able to park it in my 83" tall garage.

Anyone here running the Mopar lift using the stock wheels without spacers, or are they necessary for 35’s.

For reference I have the sport max tow with Mopar lift. trying to do my homework before throwing the 35s on.
