Just a lil more

I have a 6" fabtech on my 04 screw w/35's. Is there anything I can do other than a body lift to get a little more lift so my 35"s won't rub in the front on a turn?

2-2.5 Inch Leveling Kit from Auto Spring will solve your problems no more than 2.5 though bc it will put your ball joints and etc at a pretty bad angle. But you can get the AutoSpring leveling kit for $90 shipped of off ebay or go directly to the website. Ive had mine for over a year now and no problems and gave me a little bit of clearance up front as well.

Or upgrade to the adjustable Dirt Logic coilovers and crank up the preload.

No thanks on cranking up the preload. you crank up the preload on any shock for anything and you will have a stiff crappy ride. Also I already have dirt logics and they ride great right where I got em.

then you really dont have much of an option.

A leveling kit will also affect your ride negatively

youve got 2 options Body Lift or Bigger Lift. RIZE makes a 8"

Performance accessories has a great body lift ive ran a total of 3 and installed countless. Easy and cheap. Upgrade to grade 8 bolts, move up the bumpers, and add gap gaurds and some nerf bars and the body lift will be almost invisible

Dude just trim the fenders. My 35s rubbed when I first put my lift on, just grab a hacksaw and trim down the fender/valance little....problem solved. Takes 30 seconds and costs $0.

I've trimmed and the only reason I don't want to do the body lift is moving up my bull bar, exhaust (which is Banks monster and hard to bend), and the hitch. The Toyo's just rub on hard turns. I had a Dodge w/15" of lift and it was hard to tow my boat with.

cranking the shocks up an inch is hardly gonna be noticable.
