Rubicon axles. Lockers and 4.10s.

If you have the M200 rear axle my suggestion would be to find a set of Rubicon axles and swap them in. That would be the most cost effective upgrade.

If you have the M220 rear axle it would be worth regearing. You would want to do some other upgrades to the M186 front axle depending on how hard you will use it off road.

Eaton E-Lockers are a good option. ARB lockers are another good option but more expensive since you need a compressor to go with them.

4.56 or 4.88 gears would be the best choice for 35s.

TORQ locker up front
Nitro helical limited slip rear

If you really wanna lock front and rear thats fine too. But consider new axles and run some numbers before throwing the cash

Second for the trutrac. Front and rear worked great for me with 4.56 gears. That was in a JK 3.6, so less torque. Worked great.
