35's, or bigger?

Hey guys, I'm a newbie starting my first project, a '70 Bronco, and I'm trying to assemble a plan for it's lift. I want to build her as dual purpose as possible, keeping the focus on general off road ability. The big quesition is: tire size. I can't seem to find a concrete reason to choose any size over another in the 35-38 inch range, other than that I love the driving altitude that comes with big tires and the lift neccesary to fit them. My first thought was 2" body lift, 5.5" suspension lift, and 37's, with replacement of the dana 30 for the 44 I've had. Are there any drawbacks aside from center of gravity that I should be aware of?

If your plan is to wheel it hard, I wouldn't go any larger than 37's on a D44 Maybe 38's if you're lucky and very easy on the throttle.
