Welcome to the site. Truck looks good, but the chrome needs to go.

Gorgeous truck! What size are those wheels? I don't think that was mentioned...

I agree with the blacking out everything that's chrome, that's what I'll be doing with mine

sick looking truck!

just to make sure nothing gets confused, your truck is leveled, now on the stock suspension you cant go anymore than what it is, (possibly a half an inch but its not worth the hassle). If you want 35's you may be able to fit them on there now but like a previous member said it just looks to crammed and in my opinion a truck doesnt really develop a "tuff" look until its tires stick out a bit and give it a wider stance... You cant add anymore 2-3" lift options, no bilstein 5100's or any other spacers, If you want more height you need a supension lift, the 6" procomp is pretty basic, i have it i like it, but mine is slightly different now.. the 6" will clear 35's beautifully and look awesome.

But 8 inches is always cooler

Get a 6" lift with coilovers. You will need new wheels & tires for that lift. Then re-gear to 4.10 or greater. Add a Mag Hytec differential cover while you're at it. Swap out that Edge Evolution for a Gryphon from Power Hungry Performance. Drop the transmission pan, remove the filter, and replace both with Mag-Hytec pan & filter. Then think about electric fans, intake, engine, & exhaust.

Yepper, I agree with everybody else. That's definitely leveled. If it wasn't leveled your front end would be lower than the back, and your truck sits level. I believe it was FX4life that even mentioned you have a 2.5" spacer in there.
Those look like 20" rims to me.

Congrats, welcome to the site, and great looking truck

floorit....if those are the 20x10 Monsters then they have a 4.53" backspace and you won't be able to fit 35's with just a leveling kit w/o an a$$ load of fender trimming. If they are the 20x9 Monsters(5.71" bs) then you will be able to fit 35's with minor trimming and maybe even none. I have a 2" spacer on my 08 Screw and fit 35's on 18x9 wheels with 5.47" bs. If you look at my album pictures you can see how it looks and see the trimming I had to do to the innner front fenders and front lip. Also, if you can find a 35 in something thinner than 12 1/2", like 11 or 11 1/2" wide, you might be able to make it work with just a little more trimming than I have. I happen to like the way my truck looks though I am contemplating adding a 6" lift later so I can throw on some 37's. Let me know if you decide to try the 35's with your current setup and I'll help you out as much as I can.
