04' FX4 Lift Question

I recently bought a lift/leveling kit online without doing much research prior to purchasing. The lift is advertised as 3 1/2" front and 2" rear, it came with aluminum strut spacers for the front and an aluminum 2" spacer for the leafs. My issue is I was hoping to comfortably get 35's on after the kit is installed with minimal damage to the ride quality. After looking through a ton of threads on lifts I can't find much information on how a FX4 looks, rides, or any concerns after the lift is installed. I also believe after looking through all these threads that the wish to install 35's after the lift isn't very realistic??? Any pictures or information from anyone who has seen or installed one of these would be very helpful.
Thanks

35 on stock width rims should be very possible.

You can clear 35's on stock wheels like others have said, but you'll never get a 3.5" spacer into the front. Especially not and maintain any ride quality, stick to 2.5" max.

I've done some more research since I posted this yesterday and it seems to be pretty unanimous that a 3.5" spacer isn't achievable. While the 35" tires won't be a problem they will have to wait until I but another kit (2.5"). Thanks for the help and the replies.
