Lift related talk

you could do it with a body lift. I would normally be with HeyYou, but lets say you do the body lift first, and run 35's for a while, then later you could step up to a bigger suspension lift and run much bigger tires. if you do a little suspension lift now, then you will just end up throwing away those parts later (if you want more lift later).
That being said you would probably only need a 2 or 3 inch spacer up front, which they are very cheap(alot cheaper then a body lift). as for the back, no lift is necessary, but the truck will sit a little bit bulldog, but some people like that.

The "bulldog" has the greatest ability to absolutely kill mpgs, I did level lift and AALs and the spacers came in first so I had the front up for a day and the truck was worthless, I'd never run a truck like that. And I have 341/2s and 3.55s at about 5,000 elevation and the truck is kinda a pain to drive through town, but very doable if you ain't got all kind of money my $.02

I agree 4.56 gears with 35" tires is nice..even the speedometer is on and not 6 or 7 mph off like many of the lifted trucks out there...
the thing is most kids want big tires but have no money to do it right with a lift or regearing...result is very sluggish truck with a trashed transmission and a truck that usually gets put up for sale in sort order
35" tire and 3,55 gears on this truck will make it drive like your towing with a 4 banger under the hood....
