small lift to fit 35s

hey i was thinking about doing a 3 inch body lift and a AS level kit. i want to run 35's my question is. i know on some lifts that guys have problems outta the cv angles and didn't know if this setup would effect that. also, would i need the level kit and body lift to set level? or does the BL level it out? also wat kind of price and wat brand lift is good to get. i know a couple are doing this so i thought i would throw it out here..

IDNC is running that exact setup, you might want to shoot him a PM. IDNC76 is his username.

But, no the BL will not level it out.

If you run that you can fit 35's, body lift does not affect your cv angles the leveling kit will, but there are hundreds of people using them on this site, the leveling kit will level the truck then the the body lift will lift 3" all around. I would get the performance accessories body lift and the leveling kit really doesnt matter which brand, there all pretty much made the same.

you can run 35s without a leveling kit on stock rims or aftermarkets with a backset close to stock

If he's 4wd, he didnt' say.. Also it's offset, not backset. Just so you know. Has to be hella low offset.

Yes i am 4x4 and thanks for the super fast replies. Would i need to regear with the 35's? Also what are some good places with fair prices to purchase a lift?

Personally, you wouldn't need to regear per say. If it has 3.73 it'd be okay. 3.55 it might be sluggish, but if you get a tuner you'd be right back in the game. I'd personally call around local truck places, see what they'd charge if you bought it from them and had it installed and their install prices, and then check around online to see if it's cheaper to get from them or order and have them install it. Good luck
