if money allows do both. if you do a body lift you will still have that rake from the factory. but if you like the rake the leveling kit takes away from it. so it should just be preference on how you like it to sit. and a leveling kit should be cheaper because theres not nearly as much time needed for install.

yea the only concern i have is being able to fit 35's with aftermarket rims with just the leveling kit. I just want the big tires of a lift but without the loss of ride and gas mileage that comes with the lift haha.

To run 35s you would have to either keep the factory rims or find a set of aftermarket that have the identical specs.

yeah I have the 4x4 so would doing both provide clearance for aftermarket rims?

Yes, if you combine a leveling kit and a body lift you will be able to run 35's on aftermarket wheels.
