Go with the Performance Accessories body lift. They are the most complete kits on the market.

That is a 3" correct? I'v read people say good things about skyjacker & rancho I think. Are those also body lifts? SO with a AS 2.5 and a Performance Accessories body lift it would fit 35's good?

I believe that PA is the only company that currently makes a body lift for the 04-07's. It is a 3 inch kit. Rancho does not make body lifts and I'm not positive, but I don't think Skyjacker does either.

With the leveling kit and a 3" body lift you should be able to mount 35" tires as long and you have the proper size and backspacing on your rims. You may have to do some minor trimming to alleviate rub at full steering travel.

Seems like the wheels will be 18x9 with some 35" Nitto Terra Graplers
What BS should the wheels be if I want them to stick out a bit not a whole lot? Also a 35" would be a ??/??/18?

An 18x9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels. That is a pretty common size. If you go with an 18x9 with 5.5 inches of backspacing, it would stick out 1.5 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels. As for tire sizes, a 325/65-18 (35x13.00) is a pretty commom size.

OK so if I was gonna with a 18x9 wheel. A 325/65/18 would be a 35x13 and would fit fine on the wheel. A 305/65/18 would be a 33" correct? I just wanna make sure I get the size correct if I choose a 33" or 35"! Sorry for the New B dumb questions...............
