Problems with 35s

I have a 93 with a 3" body lift and the 351. I want 35s. What are the problems that come with having these?

-Fuel mileage goes down significantly.
-very hard on a stock drivetrain.

Would be #'s 1 and 2 on my list.

But you could also re-gear it for a little better gas milage.

it's not bad on drive train if you have the correct back spacing on rims and gears like naoh_27 said

Go to 4.10 gears and you'll have equivalently stock gearing. Gas mileage will be in the 11-12 range I believe

If you don't regear, I humbly disagree! Tranny & drive train lifespan will take a hit. You can't ignore Physics. Your tranny & drivetrain sure won't ignore it.
