So I have about 10 credit cards 6 being maxed out the other 4 with an average untilization of 70%. Well I just paid them all off with some extra cash I came by so now I have a 2% utilization. What do you think my score of 635 will go up to?
A lot. Certainly over 700, assuming no negatives.

Yes no negatives and before I ran such high balances I was a 710
Then I guess 720 average.
Where are you getting your 635 score from?
If it's a FICO 8 score, it will go up considerably. While you didn't quantify it exactly, it sounds like your overall utilization is probably in the 80%-90% range. Is that correct?
If that's the case, I'd guess that you stand to gain 80 points or so on your FICO 8 score. If you're at > 90% utilization, the paydown to 2% would probably result in you coming in at closer to a 100 point gain.
Nice work and congratulations on the paydown, BTW. That's a great accomplishment.
