Default Cheapest way to get 35's on my truck

I'm cheap and I'm curious...

If i went with 2500 springs and control arms(used)????
Just 2500 Springs????
Body Lift????

what do you all think?

Its a stock 97 1500. I have 33x10.5R16 but and they rub when I turn sharp. They are on stock rims with no offset

i have 315's which are about equal to a 35'' tire.
all i have is a 3'' coil spacer, but i would recommend getting some longer control arms to recenter everything, im dealing with alot of death wobble right now!

Being off-center doesn't cause death wobble; worn suspension/steering components do. Find the slop and fix it and your death wobble will go away. You might also have to get the camber adjusted properly, since most alignment shops just take a measurement and say, "Yeah, that's in spec" and that's that, even if the camber is incorrectly balanced and not adjusted to compensate for your large tires. There are instructions floating around somewhere online and I'm sure someone will come along with the link shortly.

Recentering the front axle is done by repositioning the track bar mount...
