You can run the 35's on your current axles. As far as the lift, I think that you're pretty close to being lifted enough to run 35's with the OME lift alone. You might be able to add a bodylift (Performance Accessories or M.O.R.E.) to give you 1" more room. You might even be able to skip the gear change since you've already got 4.10's. Really just depends on what you're gonna do with it and how badly you "need" the lower gears.

What are your plans for wheelin'? Not sure what kind of terrain you've got over there.

(I am going to assume that since you want lockers that you plan on off-road a lot.)

If you are going to run 35's a 3.5 will do; of course the 4 dr look great with 4.5 and 37's! You will want to replace the drive-shafts, and regearing with 5.13 is probably a good idea... and congrats!

Forget about the Jeep. You have something much better to take care of. That's a dream. The other ......... just a vehicle.

my jeep has no power right now. so some say that if you have auto for 35s you must have 5.13 some others say that 4.88 is just fine. i don't now maybe i should were 5.13 in case i want to go bigger. and what brand for lift?
the mud terrain is the one that i'm tasting my jk. but in the summer time sand and sun is what i have to deel with. i am very happy to join this family

This is just me, but I'd save a bit for the new addition - They are F'n expnsive---- more than a jeep expensive too.
