should be fine, what front axle do you have?? i would save and get a D35 and a 8.8 from an explorer from a junkyard and re gear those and swap them in with the new tires. pointless to regear axles that are going to break soon, especially with 35s.
im not downing the price at all, and if you can afford to do it twice the definatly do it. that would be sweet. gotta post pics though! what tires you getting?

You could just send me the 35"s in trade for my 33"s haha ill even cover shipping!

The desirable rear axle is the explorer one, its stupid simple to swap the spring perches over, and also allows you to set the correct pinion angle. The reason you want the explorer one is because it has 31 spline axles. I did my swap in my driveway on my 87 Bii. All in all maby 6 hours of work, including welding and cutting.
