The advantage to the 35s hasn't been stressed enough here. If you're building this truck for the purpose of spending long amounts of time on terrible roads, then do your future-self a solid and go to 35s, then run 'em at ~12 psi off pavement. Go one further and get D-rated instead of E-rated tires and it'll be one very, very comfy ride. We have spent literal days on the trail in her 80 and felt zero fatigue because of this.
Couple that with any of the suspension options mentioned here (I would lean towards a progressive rate, but you know what's said of opinions...) and you'll enjoy it.
Do not underestimate the value of 4.88s with 35s. The truck has 0% labor, even at altitude. Buy once, cry once. I promise you'll thank yourself later.
