if your using a LC70 tierod the damper will bolt straight into the drivers side balljoint you'll only have to add a mount to the chassis if there isn't already one there. Any heavy duty damper should suit your 35" tyres try and avoid the lighter constructed dampers, I've used efs extreme ones before and liked them they are heavy duty, long lasting and good at burning a big hole in your pocket but still good value for what you get
