Get a build sheet for your truck. There is a link in the FAQ/DIY section to get one. That will tell you for sure, one way or the other.

The rear blocks are stock. You have a leveling kit installed, and that's it. 35's *might* clear, but, generally 5 inches of lift is better...... If you do any off-roading, (which it appears you do...) 35's ARE going to run into stuff off-road....

so with my 3.5 inch lift/ leveling kit (still in box) that i havent installed yet i might clear the 35s with a little bit of cutting.

So you have 3" blocks for the rear, in a box? HeyYou meant, what looks like 3" blocks on your truck now, are stock.
