A: I would recommend a minimum of a 2.5" budget boost but a 3" lift would be a better fit. You can also install a 2" budget boost and 1" body lift to get you there as well.

I've been running my 35s with the Teraflex leveling kit (2" in front, 1" in back) with no issues (I did trim the pinch seams, and my wheels have 3.5" backspace). You can't go offloading that way as you would most definitely tear your fenders off.

Awesome! I appreciate all the replies. Oh and just another random question, will I have driveshaft issues with the 2.5 rk stock mod and the 1" body lift?

I have a skyjacker 2" BB with 35's and didn't have to trim anything, everything basically just skates by, my rear tire still has about a half inch before it gets into the fender when it's stuffed. As for my front, I dont have quick discos yet but flexed as far as it will there are no rubbing issues on the front either. Also, I am running 35x12.50x15 discoverer AT's on 15" series 98 procomp steelies with 3.75 BS
