Well as far as the gears, 4.10 is good for a 31". You might want to consider a 4.88 for the 35's. Will help with power and mpgs

4.10 arent too bad with 35s, im running 3.55s on 35s now (for a few more days) and thats been kinda rough...In my opinion you will be fine with 4.10s but theres always the option to go higher!

is re-gearing out of the question? generally 4.56's go with 33's, and 4.88's are with 35's.
