How much up travel is decent? I like the flex I get now with 31" and was thinking I could just regain what I lose with bigger tires by trimming up.

Lift it, buy the 35s. Then eyeball it and figure out how much you have to cut to fit them in there nicely with a little bit of upward flex and cut. And bumpstop!! Very important to bumpstop correctly. Read a lot before doing any of it really. Are you just trying to go Low Cog or what?

I say go for it if you want (I'm planning 35s with less than 3"), but read and understand what you're in for. Lift, wheels, tires, gears, maybe axles, plus steering and a Durango steering box to turn the new meats. Then comes the trimming and metal work.

I know its been discussed many times but the app search function finds nothing. I have what i would call bumpsteer and its annoying to say the least. Even straight roads its great i can let go of the wheel and it goes straight. Slightest bump and it darts one way or the other. 4" lift 33's have a drop pitman arm and have it alligned perfectly. No worn bushings or tie rods either. Only wild card is the trac bar. Its an oe one with a modified axle mount (not a drop bracket). Im not going to just throw a $150 trac bar on it to see no results so lets hear thoughts on my problem.
