Resonator and evap skid have seen better days after yesterday's Rausch trip. Crawl-Daddy molded them into modern art. Everything seems to be running fine despite the resonator having less volume than before. No signs of any exhaust leaks either. The evap canister could use a zip tie, or three...it's hanging on by a thread at the moment.

I took what bypasses I could, still challenging.

You seem happy with the 3" enforcer with ranchos and 35s. I haven't seen mention of any rubbing issues with the stock fenders? especially as hard as it seems you wheel. Also, are you still running 4.10s and, if so, how is that working? I have a stock 2011 and am in the newbie research stage. Thanks for your time

Hahah, I'll certainly take that as a compliment...but make no mistake, I'm still very green when it comes to wheeling.
I am indeed very happy with the 3" enforcer and ranchos. As far as the ranchos go, the 9000s are nice, but I haven't had a chance to fiddle with the adjustment on them. You'd probably be just as happy and save some cash by getting the 5000s. That's what I would do if I could do it over.
I only get minor rubbing on fenders and the front bumper while flexed almost completely...and it's no where bad enough to where anything NEEDS to be trimmed at the moment. Keep in mind that I also have 1.5" spacers on the wheels.
Still running the stock 4.10's and haven't had any problems. Also used a Jcal to set the speedo and shift points for the 35's. Plenty of power still driving around town and on the trail. However your 3.8 may be a bit more noticeable around town with the 35's.
Hope it helps...let me know if you have any other questions.

Your not that green anymore! Your driving has come a long way! Our game of follow the leader proves that

Hope this is the proper way to reply, haven't quite figured out the forum. Thanks, I appreciate your comments. I'll have to look into the wheel spacers too. And do you mean my 3.8 will be more sluggish with 35's and stock 4.10s? From what I can tell by research, I'll probably want to re-gear sometime soon after I get 35s I guess anyway. Didn't realize the programmer would be that important. Thanks for the tips. May have to wait little longer and make sure I can purchase everything needed before making the jump in tires.

You're all good!
The 2007-2011 JKs came with the 3.8L V6, the 2012-Present JKs came with the 3.6L V6. The 3.6L V6 puts out more power and torque than the 3.8L. That will be one of the driving factors in determining the difference in performance when adding 35's. The stock 4.10s will be helpful in retaining some of that "pep", more so than 3.73s or 3.21. However, in general the addition of 35s will be more noticeable on a Jeep with the 3.8 vs 3.6. You can mitigate this through gearing, like you mentioned (this has been discussed IN DEPTH, give it a quick search on the forum, if you still need some guidance, let me know).
Some threads to look at:

Gearing for 35s

The programmer is not necessarily REQUIRED...but will be helpful for resetting your speedo and shift points (in an auto trans).
In my case, with the 3.6 and and 35s, I really didn't notice a terrible change in performance....but the extra power that the 3.6 has really helped in that regard. The major change I noticed what a reduction in braking performance. I'll end up getting the Dynatrac brake kit eventually.
There a plenty of people with 35s and the 3.8 out there, that I'm sure could comment on their thoughts of how the tires feel. In the end, I'm fairly confident you'll be happy with the 35s from a wheeling standpoint (I was!). You can hang onto you 4.10s for the time being and save for gears if need be to get some power back.
The wheel spacers are only a requirement of you run the stock wheels. If you have aftermarket wheels with less backspacing then you won't need them.
Hope it helps! Let me know if I can shed more light on anything.
