35's with 4.10

^this if very true. but. it may all depend on your driving style. ive been locked on 35s for a long time now and i only had one issue and that was twisting the ear on the inner side off the shaft. in wich i didnt notice until the cap flew off down the highway heading back to camp

Mayhem:
As I understand it, the torque limit for stock axles is too often reached with 35's. I myself just got a locker with my 33's. I am shopping axles as well. It's not a matter of if, even with 33's, it's when.

I run 36's with 4:10's but like the JK owners said it will be a little under poweered but the Auto will make up for that.

The D30 is a good axle and once I put Chromemoly shafts in mine it has held up find to the abuse i give it, but the JKU is so much heavier and the newer D30's & 44's are made a little weaker, you will need to be easy on the skinny petal and start thinking about putting in sleeves or a truss on it. the thing you have to watch out for is to not bounce the front end up in the air until you strengthen it!!

My truck is automatic.

I would also be concerned about the 2.5 inch lift clearing 35's. In my truck I have about 5 inches of combined suspension and body lift and I still rub fenders.....and I also trimmed the fenders!

So with your truck being an auto, an engine that has plenty of power and 4.10's the tork converter makes it feel better. Your gas mileage would improve if you installed 4.88 along with much better crawl ratio.
As for clearance the JK's clear fine with just 2.5 in lift. Extended bump stops are the key thoe. Just ask ChiefKP. He is on his 2nd JK with the same Tera Flex 2.5in lift and 35's W/O any rubing issues.
