Default what else is needed for 35's

hey all... new to this forum so be kind
I just want to know what else / if anything I should do to my rig to run 35"" tyres.
It is a 2000 TJ wrangler. At current I have:
3.5" RE kit.
front/rear/lower/upper adjustable arms
2" body lift
hd sye
4.56 gearing
front and rear arb lockers
front and rear adjustable panhard rods
all the other necessary bracketry associated with this lift.
I am currently running 33's and am thinking about going with 35's. What else would i need so I dont break things.
Would I notice a big difference in going to 35's ???
Thanks for the help all...
Look forward to spending some time on the forum.

You might also need some longer bumpstop spacers

my flex at the moment I have just over an inch when I hit bump stop. So it should just scrape in.
By the way I already have the 7" flares... sorry forgot to mention that one.

Assuming the bump stops for the Re3.5" kit were fitted he MIGHT be ok......but expect a bit of rubbing....bumpstoping extra will lose some wheel travel but prevenmt the fendes or tyres been eaten by the other.....But I'd fit & test flex before rushing out to change.....otherwise ya need flares....
