Well...you're stuck with the drop bracket, so if you want it bombproof, get the 5" spindles from Tuff Country, and then see how your wallet is feeling.
I see you live in Denver...I'm just up the road, halfway between Denver and Boulder, so if you want a hand with it, shoot me a PM. I don't have a press, and you'd likely end up taking new spindles to the dealer simply because they have a large enough press and skill to not !$#% up the bearings etc. putting it back together...
...but honestly, given where you live and my assumption that you have a 4WD, get the 5" spindles so you can dispense with the spindle spacer before you do anything else. Once the weak link has been addressed, do whatever...but I can also recommend a few things for getting larger tires to fit, that will keep all the capability of the truck when you hit the dirt. I can fit 37" tires (tho I need to massage the top of the fender liner) and I think I only have an inch or three of "lift" (whatever that means anymore :lol
.
Not that you'll want to run them necessarily. Stay with 35" tires, and make them fit with the lift you have. It'll work, and it'll wheel.
