35s on Sport Trac?? - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

I need your help guys--Here's the question:
I have my Black Sport Trac with the 3 inch body lift & 1.5 inch TT/shackle lift. I am running 33s right now with no problems. After this Body lift it looks like I could fit a lot bigger tires on the thing & was wondering if you could help me out. I have the 4.0 SOHC 210 HP V6 with the 4.10LS rearend. According to a gear ratio calculator I would be at 3.63 with 35 inch tires.(I beleive I'm at 3.73 with my 33s now)---How is that gonna affect the "fun factor" (such as it is)? Also I have the 16 inch alloy 7 inch rims & what I can't believe is that both tire stores I went to said that the 33x12s will work o.k.---what up with that? FYI I was able to run 33s on the 'Trac with no lift,so with the 4.5 lift?? 35s?? do I want 'em?? I have posted pictures on this board before, So you could check 'em out to get a visual if needed. I know you all are the experts on this stuff--So thanks in advance!
