Hey BBForce,
I'm at Hill AFB as well. I'm running 285-85R-16 tires on stock wheels and 3.55 gears. It works great for me but I do have to start in first gear most of the time. These are about 33 inch tires. My brother-in-law is running 35s and has 4.10 gears.
I think 35s would be too much for my gearing, so it depends on what gears you have in the axels.

I also have 4.10 gears which is one of the biggest reasons i want to go to 35 inch tires. My biggest worry though is having clearance in the fenderwell

That is a very good idea. What do you recommend to space out the bumper?
