35" MT's shouldn't be a major issue
If something like Simex are fitted then it'll become a factor, only because they offer so much grip that the standard fitted shafts tend to be comprimised

Even so, having seen a bobtail on standard axles and 35x10.50 silverstones giving a KERR hell and only stopping when it was stuck in the ruts it had just dug, its amazing just what a standard axle can withstand.
Another harper student running 35" simexs was managing quite well with a standard rear axle until a little too much abuse with a ARB and then all it had done was strip the splines in the drive flange.

the passenger side went on great and i am very happy with the way it sits but then i moved on the the drivers side at this point i pulled the arch out of the box to find it was miss shaped :(

TYou might find that now it's fitted and screwed down that if you leave in in the sun to get warm it will regain some of it's shape. If not I agree that you should ask for a replacement, it douns like it was damaged in transit though.

ive had a space heater on the last couple of nights blowing towards the front drivers side so i would of thought that there would be enough heat there if heat would of made it reform its shape.
ive sent paddocks an email but ive had no responce so i will have to ring them but looking at the receipt it says faulty items are looked at so they can decide who at fault then sent to the manufacturer for new item to be sent out but it also says its a lenthy process and suggest buying a replacment!
as for axles i was starting to wonder then i read that the abs axles are somehow stronger i may be wrong but if what you guys say is true im happy to take my chances with the standard ones
