Have you been happy with the 4.88's?

Personal Tangential Reflection: I went to 33's in my automatic 2 door 2012 JK with my stock 3.23 gears and it was HORRIBLE! I had to auto shift to keep the thing in the powerband while driving in city, but highway MPG's improved. I then switched to 4.10 gears when I swapped in Rubicon axles. In city driveability and mileage significantly improved, but highway mileage dropped by a similar margin to the degree to which my city mileage improved (e.g., 2-3 mpgs). For me and my driving preferences - my Jeep is my daily too - I think 35s with 4.10's would be just about perfect for a mix of highway and city driving. My only concern is that the driveability in the city will suffer more than I want as it is almost perfect right now, to my taste anyway.
