I dunno I think an 8" lift and 35's looks kinda goofy. /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif
A 4" lift would be more than plenty for 35's.
A bit bigger and break out the /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif and trim the fenders a bit.
As for vehicle laws check out the DMV. They should have all the lift laws in your area.

Bottom of the front bumper in PA can be no higher than 30".... An 8" lift maybe be pushing it a bit and will be a bit too high for 35's....
Also, Tough Country EZ-rides seem to be the favorite choice of springs around here. BDS is also popular, but more expensive.
With 8" of lift, you should be planning on at least 38's. You will also have to get two new driveshafts, probably both with C/V joints. You will also have to do multiple steering corrections or a crossover conversion. Don't forget about lower gears when going to bigger tires. I'm not even going to get into the axle strength issue. It's been covered so many times before.
Do a search, lift height/tire size/extra mods discussions come up all the time here.
