    What size tires for 3.5” lift?

    Are you sure you need adaptors? I have a rubicon express 3.5" lift with 295/70/17. With a 4.5" back space you are good. Secondly you may want to change your gearing. I have the 4sp auto tranny with 4.88 gears and love the set up. You should have a larger lift for 35"

    Bought new 42RLE transmission today from Bullripper

    Yes, besides it is listed as heavy duty. They said they fix all current updates and install a sonnax shift kit. I think the shift kit they use probably has the updates
