Can't help with your request, however, I've seen one in person and a couple on the boards.

Doesn't look right.

The 35's are too small.

actually im sure it will look fine. There are plenty of guys on here with the 6" lift and a 2" or 2.5" spacer with 35's and they look fine.

the tires will look dwarfed by the truck. My 37's look small with 10" of lift. I personally would not do it or even think of it.... I myself want 38's for my lift becuase they are wider and a small bit taller, but id really like to stuff some 40's in there.... if you want 8" of lift definately get no less than a 37

unless your looking for more flex space, then I would go with at least 37's... my truck has a 6" and 35's, looks great at first but starts to look small after a while.....so i am about to invest some more money in bigger tires and a taller lift...

dont do 35's with an 8" lift. You wont achieve a good look.

I guess it just depends what you like. There are members on here running 6" suspension and 3" body lifts with just 35's and I personally don't think they look that bad. If all you want to run is 35's then just stick with a 6" lift then.

sure won't big truck with little tires. i just dont see the point in running only 35's with 8 inches of lift? you got a rancho now, there was a guy running a body lift with a rancho (black screw, foose rims, sexy wife/gf named Connie, he's got a bitchin f250 now, whats his name) on 37's and it looked just right, dont do it, you'll regret it.
