d35's are already notoriously weak. You're just looking for more opportunity for failure this way.
That being said, you might not have any problems. YMMV as they say.

Find a cheap 8.25 axle and weld those spiders...

if you have stock sized tires, you may get away with it.
with 31's, even an open diff is sketchy on a d35 with the trails near you.

Get a cheap 29 spline 8.25... weld that if you must.

How about a ausie locker for the front with a HP D30 or maybe both ?

Save a few bucks and go with a Spartan locker for the front. I got mine shipped for $235 and the install was a piece of cake. Works great off road, can't even tell it's there in 2wd. People talk about tight turns being a problem, I say pick your lines or shift into 2wd if you have to make a tight turn.

I would not reccomend building a D35 at all. If you Lincoln lock it you are asking to be that guy blocking off the trail preventing anyone from passing. You can get an 8.25 for around $100 and a Spartan locker for just over $200. This will be a reliable axle up to 35" tires if you can drive well.
