Do you think I will need major modification to the Drive shaft when running 35" tires? :help:
Thanks,

Prob just lengthing it a lil but with the high pinion you should probly be fine sence ur lift is not that much.
If you didn't make it, and it ain't broke, you didn't try hard enough.

the tire size will not effect your drive shaft lenght the lift on the springs will. So if you have not went with a taller lift and are just planning on running 35's then you should be fine. But if you went with a taller lift then you will have to modify it so it will not fall out on you while flexed up on the trail.

im running 3 inch springs and so far ive only pulled out my front once but i dont know how i did it thow becuause i can flex my truck out and the drive shaft still has like 2 more inches in it.
so u should be fine with a 3 inch lift and 35's.
and the high pinion will help ur drive shaft angle and maby some length because it puts it on top of the axel instead on the bottom like stock.
you should be fine and if not just cut the front and lengthen it urself its not hard and u dont have too worry about balenceing it becuase its not gonna be going that fast.
good luck
