You should be able to sell those tires and rims for close to what you have in the tires.

I am speaking from experince, I had a 70 short bed 4x4 when I was in highschool, and running 33" tires I broke the dana 44 trying to climb up a hill, not rock crawling, they really arent very strong in a truck, they do well in a jeep because jeeps are way lighter than a pickup. You would probably be able to sell the 44 pretty easy for that reason.

With 35's and 4.11's you will be turning 2960 RPM to do 75 MPH, that is going to suck a lot of fuel. If you stuff an over drive in it like a NV4500 you could bring that down to 2161 RPM.

Just something for you to consider because right now with your 3.07's you are only pulling 1614 RPM @ 75 MPH, so as you gear your truck down your fuel consumption is going to go up exponentially.

Never had a problem with the danna 44 befor
and with the 3.07 dose not help with my gas cuz there to high geared and i run 2500 rpm at 70 mph
With high gears there is no gear reduction to help turn the tires
And 3/4 axles are not cheep its more money to swap axles then to get them re geared

And its not like there is a lack of power i got plenty of that
