Default 33" or 35"

Hey everyone,
I have a '92 4.9L 4x4 and I'm going to put on a Rough Country 6" lift, but I am stuck deciding between 33" and 35" tires (BFG A/Ts, which would be Hx12.5x15s). The truck has a stock drivetrain. Would I have trouble running 35s without changing gearing? I don't do anything serious. This is basically my going to Lowes and driving backroads truck, but I had a chunk come out of one of the sidewalls on my 32s and decided to jack her up before buying bigger tires (either size). Anyone have any good pics of what I can expect either way?

Thanks!

If you don't want to change gears then stick with the 33's, 35's with no gear change will turn a decent running truck into a pooch. That being said with a 6" I personally like the look of the 35's under it.

33's are to small for a 6" lift, that's what I'm running now until I find new tires or decide to take the lift back out.
