Thats alot better, but still not something I would do. I think that 32 11.50 would be better.

If you go with rear blocks get some 1.5 inch ones that have the pinion correction angle. Fabtech makes them. Do not get aluminum ones. For the front get leveling coils not spacers. This combo will lift the whole truck a little and still have the factory rake to it. I would do this and run 32 11.50 on all 4 wheels. I actually had my truck like that for a while. I'll look for that picture. I took it all off because it does so much better in every aspect with stock suspension and 31 10.50.

oh i never thought about the gear ratio that would be more money than its even worth as much as i like those 35s i think i am going to sell or trade them and just go from there.
what would be better 31s or 33s if i got 31s would they be able to clear the rear without any modification?
i believe they're only 2" bigger than the stock tires

31"s are just a hair over 2" larger than the stock 28.8" tires. Realistically 33" tires should fit on the rear of a stock 2wd truck without problems. I've heard some 2wd truck guys say they can fit 31" tires on the front and others say they cannot.
I'd say try to fit 31's all the way around. If the front doesn't quite fit, give it a minor lift. I don't know anything about 2wd front ends, but if they are like 4x4s, you can stack washers on under the spring cup to get an inch or so of lift up front. I did this on my old truck and after getting realigned, it worked just fine. The best option would be different springs, but if you don't have the money for springs, don't waste money on aftermarket spacers that do the same thing a stack of washers can do.
Then find a really cheap locker or at least swap the rear end from a junkyard truck that has a limited slip. It will still look halfway decent and do good in the mud for a 2wd truck.

I'm trying not laugh, but that just looks FUNNY! 
Are you SERIOUS? If that thing as so much hits a pebble, it is going to hit the fender. Why would anyone want to put 35" tires on a 2 wheel drive truck?
