I'd do a 2" level in combo with that 3" body lift. Will give you 5" total up front and easily clear those 35s and will not put a lot of stress on those CVs plus level kits are cheap...

Thanks Dusty & HemimorePower for the compliments. I wish I had the money to do it a long time ago, but didn't have the extra cash to personalize it until I got the truck itself paid off.

8" suspension + bagged rear + 3" body lift.
24" wheels + 40" tires.
YES i do play in the mud with it, tow with it, etc and i've only managed to chew up one set of cv shafts in a year and a half.......(and those were factory)

so YES it can be done, but as hammer said, you will strain and break things. My bushings are worn, rack and pinion is worn, things are getting wobbly. but not broke yet!!! lol. Gotta pay to play Thankfully, i don't have a wife/kids/other expensive bills yet and can still afford to break things.
