35's with the more than likely 3.55 gears will not exactly be a good combination.... unless you drive around in four low a lot.......
As for "will it fit". Maybe. They will more than likely rub at full lock, and also possibly on the rearmost part of the bumper, and probably on the plastic inner fender well in the back.

What that means is, your trans is going to get hotter. Heat kills transmissions..... the torque converters are weak to begin with, and this will put additional strain on it. Not to mention you are going to have to step on the gas pretty hard just to get the truck rolling, due to heavier tires, and the reduced final drive ratio larger diameter tires are going to inflict on you. What you have, is two factors contributing to generating a bunch more heat.
Will it unquestionably kill your trans? I don't have an answer there. But, just looking at it, going to 35's without regearing, will most certainly shorten the life of your trans.
