Easiest way to fit 35s would be the 2.5 with chopped fenders
BUT for the best ride quality for a budget - As for shocks: Fox Shox , as for springs: EVO plush coils . best all around ride for a fairly low bugdet...

Now if you want to go further, i would pull the trigger on the CA and some plush coils and good shocks... the coils are what will make the biggest differance in the ride..

If you do the 2.5 only you should be ok but would recommand to do CA as well ofcourse but if you're looking for budget; do the BB 2.5 and 35s and you're good.

Man I had a Rc on my last truck and hated it. That thing would beat your teeth out. Just had a bad experience and don't want to make the same mistake twice.

If you go the kit route i would actually suggest the rancho 4" kit... they have great discounts right now i think you get the whole thing out the door with adjustable shocks and SS for like just under $650 shipped..
I would go the do it yourself route and get CA , SS , quick discos fox or bilstiens and evo coils.... thats just me...

I would stay away from the body lift. I wasn't too happy with mine. I ran a 3.5" suspension with 1.25" body. I ended up taking the body lift out and was much happier.
