Well, you better save a lot of money to do 35's correctly.
It's highly doubtful that you'll be doing any trails that actually "require" 35's any time soon
You have a ton of driver learning to do first.


With 35's, besides the lifting, you'll need gearing and brakes (else you won't be able to get out of an ants way, nor stop) and lockers (else you're not on a trail that really requires 35's) and a lot of driver education.

Suggestion would be to join a local 4x4 club and start going on runs with them. That'll show you, pretty quickly, what you need for certain types of trails, and, what works and what doesn't work.
