Lot of people here running that size with a 2" level and stock wheels.

Yea I saw that.   Makes it seem like they will be tiny on a 4.5" lift

 I added 35s to a Jeep Rubi and it killed acceleration. 

Lol!!  That thing never had any acceleration to begin with.

So true...

what to do is figure out how much your current wheel set up weighs and figure out what your proposed set up weighs. I went from a 285/45r22 (45lbs)to a 33x12.50r22 (61lbs).  Even with a 6.2 took a noticeable hit with acceleration, handling , and mpg. went from hot rod to truck. You throw on some heavy 35's without gears on a 5.3 it's going to be a dog.  A tune or exhaust is not enough to cover the increase in rotational mass to keep performance exactly the same, you can gain a little back sure, but not the same as a lighter set up or factory tire/wheel combo.

 

Nitto makes a 305/55r20 grappler (non LT) that only weighs 50lbs. compare set ups on tiresize dot com
