i made the msitake of "going cheap" on my axels and expensive on teh tires.. now im paying for it ...
if you really want those tiresyour gonna want the bigger lift and reference to the "will it fit" tire chart here in the forums...
you'll need a body lift also to clear those tires under flex while mudding or trailing..
i'd stick with 35's...

OH and if you go big and plan on using it ont he road USE RADIALS they make the ride sooo much nicer
my procomp 37's (to me) ride alot nicer and mroe "quiet" at 60 mph then my buddies 35in swampers..(bias ply)
no bouncing on my tires esta very bueno!
so a 6 inch lift w/ some 35's sounds like a winner
