68' to 70' axle swap! Need Help

I have a 68' 4x4 1/2 ton with a 4" lift and I'm going swap my axles with 3/4 ton axles from a 70' with a 4" lift. The 70's axles have 35's with a 16.5 rim. The question I need help answering is can I use the tires without any mods to fender or fender wells? Any help would be appreciated thanks!!!

How wide are the 35"s? It really depends on the specific lift and the width of the tires. I originally put a 4" lift on my 69 and the 35x12.50"s on an 8" rim didn't rub. I put those same tires and rims on my 70 K5 with a different brand 4" lift and the tires did rub a little when turning. Only way to really know is get it all installed and find out.
