whats ur opinion
3 things...
First, don't bother with the body lift yet. 6 inches of lift and 35s will look good together. 9 inches of lift and 35s is going to look stupid, and the extra 3 inches of body lift isn't going to buy you anything. Body lifts are just an inexpensive way to clear tires, which you already have room to do. The other advantage to a body lift is the extra room under the hood, but that's beside the point.
Secondly Baja claws are a directional tire, for the deal you're getting I say get them, but pay very close attention to air pressure and wear, because you cannont cross rotate them.
Thirdly, you can run 35s on 3.55 gears but it's going to suck. But gears are expensive, so figure out what you're going to do with your truck first. 4.56 are fine for 35s, but if you plan on putting that 3" body lift on you're gonna want to rock some 37s and for that you should get at least 4.88s. You're also going to want to consider that 37s break **** on dana 44s. So now you're talking about upgrading axels... Now there's even more $$$
So your best bet might be to stick with the 35s and keep the truck at 6" of lift. Just some food for thought.
Oh yeah and if you're gonna install a locker or LSD it would be a good idea to do it while you're getting the gears swapped.

I say buy them. But I wouldn't get the 3'' body lift that will look retarded 9'' of lift and 35's. Believe me I know a guy down the road has that setup... that looks ridiculous. But gears should not be to far down the list of things to buy after getting these tires.
For the 9.25?
Auburn LSD, and Detroit tru-trac are good limited slips
locker-wise the detroit is really the only GOOD option
For a dana 60? Just about every option there is. ARB auto lockers, and ox lockers are what i'd look into.
Dana 70 has alot of choices too. Not as much as the 60 but I'd rather have a dana 70 anyway...

That completley depends on what kind of condition your tranny is in now, how you drive, and the maintinence, and condition of fluid in it. Tranny oil cooler will help. Also always turn the overdrive off. That'll do wonders to help.
