Wanting to get the 3" full traction ultimate lift with a nice set of 35's but I'm worried that I will have problems with the tires bottoming out in the wheel wells. I’ve looked through the pictures and have seen that many of you have this configuration and was hoping that I could get your opinion on whether this is going to be a problem or not.

If you are planning on a new bumper and or winch then you should get the HD front springs.

I have the Full traction 3" lift and 35's on my unlimited, I did have some rubbing on the air deflector thing under the front bumper but I changed bumpers and now no rubbing!I do wheel it alot and it doesen't rub at all.My only complaint with the lift is that my Jeep sits really crooked side to side and it is alot lower in the front than in the rear.

The side to side is always there, it is 3/4 "lower on the passenger side no matter how much gas is in it.I think that the lift companies should compesate for the low front,it looks stupid with a lift to sit that much lower in the front.

you can see a 3/4" in difference? You have a better eye than I do!
Also, if you have an after market bumper and winch, or just a bumper. I'd suggest getting HD springs it'll help out with the rake your are concerned about.
reguarding the Posters question. I have no problems with tires stuffing, its just right

It had the rake before I changed bumpers and the bumper doesn't weigh much,maybe 25 lbs it is a stubby.3/4" is alot It is noticeable from the front or rear at any distance.My wife can even see it and she never notices anything.

No problems with that set-up on mine, 3" FT with HD springs, 35's and 1" spacers on rear. You will have a little problem with the stock bumper. I also see the offset from right to left (I didn't know it was 3/4") but it is very noticeable.
As for gears... I'm running 5.13's with a 6 speed. I was worried the 5.13's would be to low for the highway (they're not) Now that I have the 5.13's installed I think the 4.88's would have been too high for the woods.
