Tire upgrades and added weight
Looking for some input here. I have spent a considerable amount of time looking at wheels and tires to match up with my lift. I really like the look of the SS-M16's and leaning towards purchasing the 33x13r16's and MT Classic II's. The one concern I have is the weight they will add to the vehicle. The tires come in 78lbs so roughly 400lbs for the package.
The question I have is how much of a impact will the added weight have on braking, acceleration and mpg? What bolt on upgrades would you recommend for the 4.0I6 that will add HP and Torque would compensate for the added weight and even things out a bit?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. After reading several threads on regearing, it appears the going from 3.55 to 4.56 is the best option.
I'm currently running d30/d35 so I would assume the kit from yukon or superior for a TJ will work?
