Definietely need a body lift and suspension, would probably need to cut guards etc. Two off road.co.nz do lift kits etc and got pics on his webb site.

Cloggy was forever bending tierods on his disco, he always carried a spare one in the back and his tyres were only about 31/32 inch, MrO also kept bending his tierod with 34 inch tyres and he had problems from the first time he took it out

35's and a standard rover drivetrain are not a happy match. Either stay with 33's or get ready for some breakage unless you drive like a Nana - and then a big bill for stronger axles diffs CVs and tie-rods - thats after you've done a body and spring lift. Or a rebuild with Nissan GQ drivetrain. Search the Outer limits board for details.
After breaking stuff I upgraded my 90 drivetrain to cope with Simex 35's and a 4.6 V8 but have left the disco on 33 MT's and drive it gently it is lasting OK
