I agree with Banks316, a 4" inch lift will clear 35 tires but the fenders may be an issue. I have a 4 inch lift but I also have a 1" body lift and it clears the tires easily, no rubbing on turns or stuff like that. I also have Bushwacker flat fender flares too. In hindsight, I probably could have put on 35's keeping the stock fenders while using the body lift+suspension lift, or no body lift and just the Bushwacker fenders+suspension lift. Either way, I think with a 4-inch lift, you should be able to fit the 35's in at least for street use. With trails and wheel travel, not sure what would happen.
As far as power loss, I run 4.56 gears and really don't notice any change in power. Again, in hindsight, when I built up my TJ, it ended up being a little heavy, more than I thought- or the truck scale is lying. Since my Jeep is a little chubby, I think that's what really made a change in my MPG's.
I also run the Goodyear MTR's. I personally think it's a nice tire and I am happy so far, but when I am done, I may try a set of IROK's just for the experience...may need to get some ear plugs for the road noise when that time comes or just trailer it...:)

my 2 cents....
