Default 35 Inch Tire Question

I need to replace the tires on my completely stock Jeep before the 5th. Am planing on going to 35s. Will my axles survive for a few months until I can install C gussets? Can my dana 30 axle shafts take 35s if I stay on the road? Lastly, can someone with 3.73 gears, a manual transmission, and a 3.8 share their experience? Any advice is appreciated!

1000's if people are running 35's on d30/44's without gussets and without issues. If you beat on it upgrade but if you are like the majority of people and only do easier trails like the Rubicon trail etc you will be fine.

I ran 35s on my D30 for about 7K miles before I gusseted. Never had a problem. My off-roading however, is forest road type stuff.

I have been running 35s on my Dana 30 Front and Dana 44 rear for a while now and we go wheeling once or twice a month on some pretty crazy stuff and I haven't had any issues at all.
