how would havin 35's even it out?????? the distance from the transmissin/ transfer case is gonna be the same no matter what tire size you run, the tires will just a make difference in gettin you higher off the ground

You don't have change them but I recommend changing the front shaft because the stock shaft will make your steering well shutter at speeds over 25mph

New guy alert!!! Hey, I just signed up but have been lurking awhile. Just wanted to agree with some of the other poster. The rear shaft will be fine and the front shaft may shudder a little when using 4WD at high speeds. I havent replaced mine yet cause I dont use 4hi often enough to justify.
