3.55 is too shallow, you need deeper gears like 4.56. With the 5.2 you might be able to get away with 4.10s.

The V6 will be okay with 35's if you re-gear like said above. But the front axle I wouldn't trust it to hold up strong to anything other than light offroading, even with gears. Heck that would be pushing it for the stock rear axle as well.

The ring and pinions and spider gears will be the weak links. It's not like its going to grenade on you first offroad trip, but when you start pushing hard asking a lot out of it that is where the possibility of parts breaking is highest.

I used to have an 87 s10 blazer with the 2.8 v6 in it turning 35s, stock gears. Wasn't overly blessed with power but it would roll down hill like a mother
