D30 front, D35 rear. About 99% certain.

A picture would lead to that being 100% certainty.

Are these axles good? What should i do overall to my jeep, besides a lift and fenders, to be able to safely and reliably run 35’s?

Most here suggest you don't go over 31" tires with that rear and don't run hard. Find a '97+ C8.25 and swap it in.

I can only tell you that it's suggested by those who run large tires to be wary of the D35. Now that you know which rear you have start a thread in the modified forum asking what you want to know.
