If you're not heavy on the skinny pedal, you should be fine. ****, my rear axle held up to 35's, a detroit locker, a lot of bashing and my overzealous right foot for 3 years until it finally blew up. But, it did go boom eventually. Now your tranny might not agree with stock gearing and 35's. I'd look into upgrading to 4.56 gears.
