34s on a Dana35 is a bad idea. I have 31s on mine and I'm still afraid i'm gonna break it. I'd recommend doing a Chryco 8.25 swap before anything else

So your at 5"s, 34s and stock 3.07s? That will hopefully be my setup once my 30" mt/rs wear out.. ironic? We have really similar jeeps p.s..just yours is bigger and badder.

And you got any more pictures or anythin of the flares? i like it..
