I personally would not be happy putting 35s on my truck without re-gearing, but its a personal choice. I need to be able to drive up hills without recourse to Low-4
There *is* whatever anyone says, a noticeable difference in engine effort on hills between 31s and 33s, so there will be a further difference on 35s.
As regards cheaper tyres, have you tried the guy I got my BFGs from? I mentioned him in the 'tyres' section. If you're not offroading much, and 'green-lane' rather than pay and play, I would suggest ATs or one of the less aggressive mud tyres (KL71 or such) would be a better bet than full muds. This is coming from someone who lived with Mudzillas on the truck for 9 months. The BFGs have been a revelation in handling, speed and fuel consumption!
