    Just changed plugs on my '15.
    Check gap on your old ones if you think of it. I'm curious if you'll have similar wear as mine. NGK on driver side were .050 and Denso on passenger were .044.

    Also, how long did you do stock gears on 35s? Tolerable?

    That sounds like the common thought.
    Wonder if 34" tire would be much different feel for stock gears.
    Like a 285/75-17 or 305/70-17. Ever tried them?

    Going to a 33" tire does so yes it will

    Regear, then get meats. Everyone does it in the wrong order.

    Only noticeable on large grade hills leaving Phoenix. I just manually shift between 3rd and 4th to keep it out of OD.

    Im on 34s and no intention of gearing any time before 75k

    Wasn't the road for me. That was fine since I have a manual. It was trying to drive over the boulder in 4lo that sucked.

    In 4lo and locked I dont feel the trans working hard on climbs. In 4hi, yes if the climb is too steep or rocky ill feel the transmission working. Most of the trails ive done as of late require me to stay in lo and flip the locker as needed.

    Since you are 33.3, you might as well jump to the 34 or 35
