I would ask the poor fella we past on the trail last year at 909 with a TJ that had both axle shafts broke . I stopped to see if we could help and all he said was how stupid he felt for not listening to his buddies and junking the 35. He said he had spent north of a grand on it .... or should I say wasted !

Opps now someone is going get up on the soap box and start bashing me.

Dude , here's my opinion ( like I said folks "OPINION") you can polish a turd and ......well you get the point and that is what you are doing with a 35. I ran one and I beat the crap out of it and never broke. But I always knew that I was very close to the line. Last month John ( my buddy ) Killed his 35 at 909 on 34" tires.
The 8.8 is a much stronger choice stock and they are cheap ( just got one for $250.00 ). and you get disk brakes
Are there stronger out there ?... sure but width and bolt patterns change.
If you want to add a super kit to the 8.8 they are out there and make them all most bullet proof ( ask the mustang guys ) My neighbor has an 8 second nasty fast fox body and he is running a super 8.8 with a spool . put a super 35 under that mustang and watch as it gets turned into a pretzel.

If I were you I would get an 8.8 and put it under your rig , keep in mind that you may need a SYE or you may not . Try it with out and if it doesn't vibrate good , if it does then put a SYE in it.
Every Jeep is different , when I first got my YJ it had a 4"lift with no transfer drop , shims or SYE and I got ZERO vibes, however , I did pull the DS out of the slipat 909 a couple years ago (thanks carwash).
Last month I put a 4" lift on a buddies YJ and he has vibes , so we are going to do a ML and see if it is enough . You just never know.
