7" Lift with 35"s?

Hey guys, I'm currently running a 4" suspension lift with 315/75/16s (34.6") and I'm about to buy a body lift in the couple of days. I was thinking about going with the 3" PA kit, but was wondering if the tires would look out of place with that much lift... I don't quite have the funds availble right now for 37s, but could get a 2" PA kit instead.
I tried to the search tool, but to no avail. So, if you have, or know of, a link to pictures of 7" total lift running a 35" tire, send 'em this way!

Check my albums. I am running 10.5" of lift on my 2wd which would be really similar to 7 or 8" on a 4wd. I have 35s, but mine are 35x13.5.

i have the 5" rcd with the a BL and it looks fine on 35's. if its too high for you, just lower your T bars. then you can raise them when you get the 37's.

I agree. Also, do not go with a 2 inch body lift. Everything just lines up better with the 3 inch kit on our trucks.

Thanks guys, I really like the way your trucks sit. That 3 inch lift is definetly the way I'll go. I don't know if I'll ever end up with 37's or not, but thanks for the torsion bar tip. Now I've just got to wait until monday for the parts shop up the road to open...

Oh, alright, I purchased it like this and can't remember what he said the gears were haha, then I lost his contact info and couldn't call him up. He said that they would equate the truck "back to stock" with the 35s, so maybe he DID say 4.56 and I'm just mildly stunned and thought he said 4.10 lol.

There is nothing wrong with 4:10s and 35s. My buddy runs 4:30s on 38s. His truck is supercharged though, not that it matters. 410s would equate back to stock if the truck originally has like 3:73s. Atleast with 410s you dont run high rpms at highway

Alright, well I'm not sure what they are... ill have to find his contact info. I've got the 4.6l and on the highway at 100km/h (60m/h) my truck is at about 1700rpm.
