Go with the 4.88s for sure, if you go 4.56s you will feel those 35's slowin you down a lot more than with 4.88s

I really like my 4.56's with 33's, so, I would say 4.88's for 35's.

I had 4.56's with 35's on my last Jeep and it wasn't bad. It crawled well and made it down the street with no problems.`
