I am running 35's with a 2 1/2" leveling kit it "can" be done.

I believe redheadhunter is saying it perfect "you can do it, it won't be ideal and you either live with it or change it" Perfect scenario for 35's is a 5" lift and 4:56 gears, there are other ways to do it they just each have their drawbacks.

I put 33"s on mine and found I had no power at all. They fit Fine on the stock suspension with no lift. I took out my 3:55 's and put in some 4:56 gears.....huge difference! But then it wasn't big enough for the mud....kept getting fetched up on the frame and body. I purchased a 5" suspension lift from Rough Country and a friend and I installed it in the evenings after work and it took us about a week and 100 beers. Looks and works great but I had to go out and buy a dual steering stabilizer because it was all over the road. Rough Country was very well priced and seems to be built well. Now the 33" tires are looking a little funny so I will have to Get some 35"s when I can afford them.
