'72 K5 3" ORD Lift with 35s?

[Dirsuper]

Sorry about asking another lift question, but I could not find this answer anywhere.......

I should be ready to order the lift kit for my '72 within a few weeks. I know conventional wisdom says 4" lift for 35s. However, I've had 33's on my '88 (stock height, 15X8 wheels) for 15 years (not the same set of tires obviously, but always BFG ATs) and never had a problem. I don't wheel hard, but I have taken it all over Ocotillo Wells without issue. I put the wheels (and tires) from my '88 on my '72 just to check it out, and they fit (but the engine, tranny, transfer case, and front clip are removed). Regardless, I am trying to determine whether or not I can get 35s on my '72 with ORD's 3" (or, even better, 2.5") lift kit if I plan ZERO off road for this one? I plan to use 15x8 wheels, and 35/12.5-15 BFG Mud Terrain tires. I'm 45, retired from the military with a medical record 13" tall, and still manage to do damage to myself from time to time.....the less I have to climb, the better off I'll be down the road. Yeah, it's only an inch, but.......
