Do a search here. But, 35's won't rub fenders with a 3 inch lift. it pretty much depends on how wide the tire is and might rub the control arms.

I'm going to bet no one has a pic with a body lift... suspension lift it your better bet. In my opinion every truck I've seen with a body lift just looks dorky It looks like your body is off the frame and just doesn't look that good. get a suspension lift its a little more but it looks a lot cleaner.

Aubrey has pics of a 3" suspension lift with 35's. Probably look about the same. I have 3" suspension and 3" body with 35's.

BL's on Rams doesn't look dorky because you can't even see the frame due to the wheel well inserts. I agree on trucks where you can see the frame through the wheel wells, it kinda looks funny.

i agree on the suspension lift but i don't wanna spend the extra money and trouble cause i don't know how long i am gonna have the truck. i just want a better look for not a whole lot of money, if you know what i mean.

Ok I guess you do Have a point there... That does sound like a good Idea with the 3 and 3 cheaper way to get a 6 inch overall lift am I right? you got any pics of how your truck sits?

Don't get a body lift. They are horrible. Suspension lift is the way to go. Fabtech makes a great lift.
