Alright I've got a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my truck with 18' wheels and 31' tires....I'm already planning on getting new tires and rims for it. My problem is, I wanna go bigger...without getting a suspension lift, I don't have that kinda money right now. I'm thinking of maybe a 3' body lift and 35' tires, but will that even work for me, will it look to messed up and since I already got the bull bar on the front am I able to move that up without making that look messed up to? And what happens to the trailer hitch and the frame going to it, I've seen other pictures of trucks with body lifts and that sticks out a lot and makes it look horrible. If not I'll probably just stick with the 33' tires and just be done with it... :-(

Pictures and all around advise/ experience is greatly apreciated.

Many, myself included, run 35's with just the 2.5" leveling kit.

 

RIght. Personally, I think the body lift/leveling kit combo will look better with 35's. You will have to fabricate brackets to raise your Bull Bar 3 inches to match.

 

check out wingman's or IDNC's album for body lift pictures w/ the 2.5" level. They really don't look that bad but if you do get one I would install it yourself to save cash, or else you'll be paying the price of a suspension lift when labor costs are added. As for the bull bar you should be fine, it just won't come up as high but it's hardly noticeable.
