Did you swap rear gears? Those 35" tall swampers will really change things.

My experience was not with such a tall tire, but still the same rules should apply.

I have 3.55 gears. Went from a 235/70 to a 265/75. About a 2.5" difference..... My stock speedo gear was a 20 tooth. Changed to a 19 tooth, now it's all synced up again.

Here's a site that will help you determine all the different things that's going on.

You will need to know your current/past gears, and tire sizes, but should get you close.
