I'll agree with the other guys. You did reconnect the TV Valve cable right?? Did you set it properly? You can do some major trans damage if it's not connected or adjusted improperly! It can eat a trans quick!

If you just run the numbers a 31" tire with a 1:1 transmission output gives you 2674 rpm at 60 mph. Assuming a 1.1OD ratio that would drop to 2430 rpm. Your stated rpms are way off, and you should have lots better power on the hills. One question - Did you correct your speedometer gear when you went to 31's? Can you check your speed with a GPS to confirm actual speed?
Backing off to 29" tires is the wrong thing to do, for looks and off-road performance if nothing else, but it will also kick your rpm higher. I'm running 33's on my TJ with 3.73:1 gears, manual tranny.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
