First thing I would do is take off the 4 inch body lift. That has to look terrible.

The truck you're trying to make your's look like is 4WD and has an 8" Rize on it, something you can't put on your 2WD. My truck is also a 2WD and has a 6" Fabtech and 35's on it so you can look in my gallery for how she sits. Now you can add a 2" leveling kit and an AAL on the rear to get those couple extra inches of lift that you're looking for. Rest assured though, you're going to sink more than 2-3k in it by doing all that.

Yeah, get rid of that body lift. It doesn't look like it gave you any height at all. Look at how your truck sits, compared to how mine sits. Look at the clearance in the wheel wells. I can't see how that body lift made any difference.

I've never heard of a 4" body lift, atleast for the newer trucks.

Take a look at my truck. It's a 2WD with a 6" Fabtech lift and 35's, but with 18's instead of 22's. I just prefer more sidewall on my tires. I think my truck looks great with the current setup and get compliments daily.

Okay 1- there is a body lift and it came with the truck, i didnt have it on there.. 2- thats not the issue... the question is does 35''tires with 22'' rims and a 6'' suspension lift look nice?

Again. Just look at my truck and decide for yourself. It's a 2WD with everything you're talking about except 22" wheels. I think 22" would detract from the look, I would go more than 20" with a 6" lift.

I agree. I also think 35's are way to small for 22's. I'd go with 20's.
