stick with the 35s or no?

have a 6" procomp stage 2 with 35s and add a leaf. thinking about a 3" body lift. i want to stay with the 35s though because they are brand new. i dont think that they would look to small. ive seen others with the same setup. is it a good or bad idea? i really dont want to go up in tire size so i wont have to get new gears.

if you want to stick with 35's why do you want a body lift?

Don't go with more lift unless you can afford bigger tires and new gears as well.
