Rough Country / 35s question
I've searched but never seen this specific kit mentioned and I know there's quite a few people who do not like RC kits in general but I got this truck used for a relatively low price and wanted to keep the price of modding it low as well.

It says 33s are recommended but I want to know if I can go over that. The previous owner put on 285/75/16s which I understand are approximately 32.8" or so and it looks like there's quite a bit of room left around them although I have to consider they are also at about 50%. If I could get away with only a little rub at lock I would be satisfied.
Is anyone familiar with a version of this leveling kit that comes with coil springs and shocks? It is on the drop-down selection (the most expensive one) I'm assuming this is a complete replacement instead of throwing in spacers on top of the springs. Does anyone have any comments on the quality of this? Will I be able to use 35" tires on my 4x4 with this kit?
If this works, should I use a dual-steering stabilizer with 35s and are they available as a kit for trucks that do not have significant lift? Or should I just replace the one I have now?
Please don't kick the newbie - it's my first truck.

5" is a little much for me to afford besides the fact that I've only recently gotten this truck and was previously driving a car that sucks the ground. (It was very low)
Would a 3" one clear them? I don't want a body lift. http://www.jegs.com/i/Skyjacker/825/.../753718|11265#

You're probably gonna have some rubbing when turning while the suspension is going through its range of motion.
Will it fit, yes. Will it be able to flex the suspension in a turn and not rub, probably not. Note, I don't mean major flex either, I mean going over curbs out of a driveway. It will be close with that size lift.

I have the 5 inch Rough country lift and mine works great with the 35's. Rides a little rougher than a more expensive kit, but its a live axle 4x4 not a caddillac. Got my lift brand new direct from rough country complete for $750.
