With 35's I'd still recommend axle sleeves and gussets. I picked up a pair of cheap 37's that I'll just use offroad and run 35's as the DD

I use my Jeep as a DD with 35's. I only offroad hard 5-7 times a year and have not once regretted my decision to get 35's. Either way, you'll be happy with what you get.

When I bought my JKU it had 33's. I bought 35" MT/R's and find that they are phenomenal both on and off road. My rig is not my DD but I do like to drive it some on the road and have been vet satisfied with the 35's....but I still want 37's.

Does that help?

i have a 2dr 6speed and 35s and 4.88s i wish i would have went with 37's, my rpms are to high for me on the highway with 35's. i love the look of 37's and it lowers the rpms by alittle bit. i put a set of 37's i borrowed from a friend on my jeep for a day and it kinda made me sick that i didn't get a set of 37's haha, you live and you learn. good luck

What do you think of the BDS lift? I have a 2-door and have been looking into one of their kits.
