From what I can tell that is not the lift. It is a component box for the lift. Those lifts run $1600 plus

Just go with a autosprings leveling kit. That is pretty much the commonly agreed best way to go on this forum when considering a lift this size.

The autospring is a leveling kit, it's just the one must people recommend. But from what I've read you should be able to fit 35's with minor trimming and the right wheels and tires. Otherwise you'll either need to add a body lift or full suspension lift.

you can fit 35's on stock wheels. from the looks of your truck it looks like the wheels/tire you have now stick out a bit? if so 35's aint gonna work.

since you want to change your appearance (thread in other section), if you did stock fx4 18's, 35's, PTM bumpers and fx4 flares it'd look sweet.

If you are on a budget and are able to do the work yourself, the body lift is a great bargain. The only downside is I hear they are so "FUN" (note the sarcasm) to install on the 04-08's.

Yea man, Im kinda in the same mindset as you. I have a 2wd and currently have 2.5 front leveling kit and want more height. Either do a 3BL that being the cheapest option for extra height expecially if you can do it yourself or find someone to install it for cheap. If not then find a suspension lift.

Im thinking of doing a Body lift in the future. You could.. switch out the 2.5 for a 3 inch leveling kit instead up front.. sounds silly but you could do that and add a 1 or 1.5 rear block. 35s sould probably fit no prob with the right wheels such as stock, 35s are supposd to fit 4x4s easier with a leveling kit so I think your problem ok. Like stated. PTM the bumpers and throw on some 18 FX4s with some 35s, or just find some nice stock wheels 20s or 18s and throw on a 35 would look mean and awesome!

I have just currently bought my Diamo 17's and i love them.. but the only downfall is that there -12 offset.. and the 33" barley fit when turning, they try to rub front and back fender wells... Would i be able to run 35" with a 3" body lift?

probably (you'll be at 5.5" of lift). depends on the tire, assume you will have to do minor trimming though.

Yea man, if you had a 3bl youll clear 35s w/o any rubbing if any at all. You would want 35s bc it will be noticably taller and 33s will look a lil smaller.
