If you actually you this ^ then you d35 should be in the trash heep by now. So if its still under your cherokee you really dont beat the **** out of your truck. buy a real rear axle and ditch the d35

Just get a D35 or whatever out of a 4 cyl or V6 Jeep. They have 4.10s already in them. Or you can also go with the Ford 8.8 out of a Explorer which can also be had with 4.10s

Seriously , to answer your question if you do some research you will find that locking a 35 is never a good idea. Its a really weak axle. If you need a bolt in get a 8.25 axle then you can lock it and gear it if you like. If you know how to weld spring perches and shock mounts get a 8.8 from an explorer with 4.10 in it. That way you only have to regear the front. You could lock both these no problem.

A automatic locker with 4.10 and 31" tires will be fine. Don't worry about it. But it will be cheaper for you to find a 4 cyl rear end than paying for a gear swap.
