TeraFlex videos are very helpful for just starting off. There are a lot more than just the two they posted. Dennis goes over everything from tires to lifts and does a good job explaining the differences and the why we do this or that.

I would stick with 2.5-3" of lift. You can run 35" no problem with 2.5" lift.
