Drove it for a bit with stock gears, it SUCKED. And mpg took a hit. Swapped in a C8.25 with 4.10s, mileage went back up and I feel like it goes somewhere now.

I think there are some older older pics of my xj w/ 3" lift and 235's. I do not think it looks that silly.

If I had to do it again, I would have swapped the 4.10s first.
There should also be some semi-recent pics of my heep on 31's with 3"
Not sure what issues you had but my 31's with 3.55's are great... Plenty of pep, good mileage and great to wheel with. I wouldn't swap em.

3 inches in the front, 4 in the rear. 31 mickey thompson baja claws. I swapped in 3.55's for mine from 3.07 and they are perfect for 31's, but thats a manual. Lots of pep, I was thinking about it while sitting in my jeep on lunch yesterday, and I have never actually pressed the pedal all the way to the floor while driving, lol.

Pretty sure I have a 3" lift and I am pretty sure I have 31s" I honestly can't tell because this is my first Jeep.

How much backspacing are you guys running with the 31s to avoid tire rub?

I am running 2" spacers on stock wheels and obviously I get no rub. 1.25s would work.... But the 2's look KILLER.

Dont run spacers they wear out hubs faster, get rims with either 4" or 3.75 bs and you most likely wont get rub mabey a little on crazy sharp turns
