If you pull a camper, your truck will be a dog with 35s while towing. Unless you're considering gears, don't go larger than 33s. You could get by with a lot less lift with 33s, forget the add a leafs and just put air bags in the rear and pump them up when you tow.

That 3" kit is going to wreak havoc on your balljoints. Stick with a 2-2.5" up front, and a 2" AAL.

You can run 35x12.5x20 on stock wheels, how ever you will have rubbing at full lock, and like Windsor said, it's going to be a dog if you're towing anything.

Stick with some 33's. It'll fill out the wheel arches and you'll still be able to tow.

All you really need is 2" up front to level it. If you want a very slight rake in the rear, go with 1.5". That might work better with your camper. Check out Auto Spring. You can clear 33s without any lift on a 4x4. You want the tire cross section at no more than 305mm with stock rims or you will encounter some rubbing.
