Since you already have 35s I say run that for a while and see how you like it. Unless you have the budget to get 37s. You might have to look into either getting a D44 or look into re enforcing your D30 axles by gusseting it, getting chromoly shafts and possibly sleeving it. Regearing may be needed, but I see you have a 6 speed, it might be bearable with 3.73 gearing don't know if your 6th gear will be usable....

u would still need to re enforce a D44 as well. the only difference is a larger ring and pinion. the shafts, tubes, everything else is the SAME. they require the gussets and sleeves as well.
