So basically I'm a new Jeep owner. Well it's been about a year now. I've definitely shown some improvement but I have no Jeep friends and need help figuring everything out.
Recently got a 3 1/2" lift and 35" tires. But now my car is slow. How do I regear. What do I pick?? I just want the best off roading experience vehicle.

What does your car have to do with your Jeep?

Welcome to Wayalife. Based on the way you asked the question, you should probably have a reputable shop do the gears, and not do them yourself. Gearing is time-consuming and very specialized to set them up correctly. Here's a thread that will tell you about gears: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php/6736-Which-Best-Gear-Brand-Thread

Based on your favorite trail location, i would guess you live somewhere near The OC? If so, you have some of the best speed shops/offroad stores in the country in your backyard. I would highly recommend going to one of them for your gears. I would also suggest letting them do the break-in cycle for you if they offer, something i wish i would have done.

It's performance is more than likely related to the larger tires and not regearing.

35" tire gear recommendations run between 4.10, 4.88 and 5.13, depending on how you'll use it. 4.10 gears will be at the edge of stock street performance while 4.88 will be more for offroad with 5.13 being for extreme offroad.
This is a good place to ask the question though. You'll get plenty of opinions.

I also saw a very nice chart recently. Perhaps somebody will share it here.

If you live in the LA area, try Off Road Evolution in Fullerton. Not only are they a sponsor here on the forum, but I don't know of anyone nationwide that can be their re-gear price. And they have a great reputation.

To put it simply, your engine has to rotate so many times to spin your tires once. Putting on bigger tires changed that number and your engine has to work harder to do the same work it did before.
The numbers Fallon listed were gear ratios to return your jeep back to how it was.
