You're really talking apples and oranges when you compare 33's to 35's. Don't think of it as only another 2", more to the effect of how far away from stock you're deviating.
At bear minimum, you're going to want to regear. That and the tire size more than doubles your budget.
Do LOTS of reading. Don't just read here either, do a google search and read it all. When you're done, read it all again. Plus consider if it's your DD or just a off roading vehicle. Plus how long you're keeping it.
I just installed 33's. I'll revisit 35's when they need to be replaced. For now, I don't have the money to do it right.

U will be fine with 35's. If u r worried about it. Just sleeve and gusset the front axle. But I don't have mine done. And it's been fine.

One picture is no lift and non cut flares and 35's the other two are with RC 2.5" BB I also have spidertrax wheel spacers and this is my old setup
Edit: if you.are.already thinking of 35' s you might be kicking yourself if you go smaller. I'm kicking myself because I want a set of 37' s, oh well live and learn
