gear question

Hi guys I want to run 35's and I have saved up enough to do so but I dont have enough money to do the gears. My question is how bad is the gas mileage and how much power do you lose.
thanks

Hahhaha, I got 32's on my truck and the gas sucks, but it was worth it, you dont lose much power when you get bigger tires, just some speed.

I have 33's on my Truck... It has the 22r and 5th gear is hardly ever used. and you have to shift into 3rd sometimes to get up hills. If you have a v6 it may be powerful enough to handle it better though.
