You're welcome, Jay.Randy,
I'm not totally to the point of giving up on the 3.45s, but your really high recommendation and enthusiasm of the 4.56s are certainly noted, and will most certainly use this to help sway my decision in the future.
For 35s this is so borderline subjective. Especially on a good 2.5" inch lift and disconnected sway bars. For any larger tire a re-gear is most certainly necessary, (beyond any shadow of doubt). 4.88s or even above 5.xx will be required for the truly bigger rubber. However (for me), 35s are as large as I'm willing to go on my Sport.
I too do a lot of off-roading. Maybe not as aggressive as you but difficult to severe is certainly in my comfort zone. I'll gladly let the professionals tackle the extreme boulder bouncing crap.
Living along the Colorado Front Range my desire is to see way more of my state and truly experience the Rocky Mountain wilderness. Not necessarily scrape my way through the most rockiest ravines in doing so. However, the more than occasional (more than difficult) obstacle must be expected anywhere within our National Forest System trails.
So your setup indeed has a lot of appeal. Thanks for sharing your experience, reasoning and thoughts on the matter.
Thank you so much for your advice and feedback. Very much appreciated.
Jay
We already have plans for CO and UT again this summer. I 'might' (though I don't really need to) swap out my spacer lift for a new 2.5" coil spring lift. We'll see. I like how the Jeep rides now (I failed to mention above that I also have Rubicon springs and shocks to go with the spacers).
