How to fit 35's?

Hey guys I'm gonna be getting some 35's in the spring I have an 01 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift and I was wondering if I could crank the torsion bars and put a 2 inch shackle or block lift in the back or should I just crank the torsion bars and not spend the money on the rear lift??

I'd suggest just cranking up the torsion bars enough to level the truck. That's what I did.

the more you crank them, the rougher the ride.

Yea use the stock wheels tho or you'll have to do a pretty good amount of trimming.

There is a chance that it could throw the alignment out, but tires are expensive and you don't wanna risk new tires wearing weird so def get an alignment after you crank em.
