35's will be fine with 3.5 inch lift I have a 4inch lift but there's boat loads of room

I run 35's 9 inch rim with a 4 inch teraflex springs Rock Krawler mid arm setup with bilstein 5160 reservoir shocks

I had to change my drive shafts out after around 10,000KMs and went with JE REEL

I'm running 35/12.5/15 on 2.5 Teraflex lift with fenders trimmed and have plenty of room not even running their extended bumpstops.

does anyone think i will have a problem with the width of the tire and rim fitting on the jeep? also, if i get 1" coil spacers, and add them to the 3.5" lift, will that act as a 4.5" lift and add more stress to the drive shafts? or does it not work like that, and the drive shafts should be fine?

A wheel 10" wide, not to mention a 14.5" wide tires is gonna put a lot of stress on your axles, seems to me would make quick work of unit bearings/ball joints, etc. Would look damn good though.
