3" is just a level for a 2wd. id go the whole 7" and even then you'll be as high as a 4wd with 5" lift.

Alright rider help me out. so if i level it will i have enough space for 35's you think? Cause i've seen a few trucks with a daystar leveling kit that put on 35's. it looks pretty tight.

thats what mine is pretty much, i just have my torsions cranked with 34's. On a 2wd im pretty sure 35's will be hard to fit and will rub with just a level. But it just depends on how much trimming you want to do. But some one with a 2wd should chime in.

How much did it cause to do the torsion keys? and how much did you pay for your 34's?

I cant find anything below almost 2k for Nitto Muds and 18 inch rockstars.

my cranked torsions were free thanks to the 03-05 suspension but my rims and tires were around 1800 for everyhting and i have 17" xd addict wheels that i removed the plastic bolts and 305/70/17 nitto terra grapplers. personally i think my size tire is perfect for a level.

OK this is what im going to do, im gonna buy the 3 inch suspension lift from rough country.
My back space right now is 7 inches in the back. the front is 4 inches. so the front will set at 7 inches, and back will sit at 8.5 inches(thanks to the block it comes with) Okay so how do i level it now? cause you cant add a level with a suspension lift, and will this allow enough room for 35 inch tires? ( the spaces up there are with stock tires by the way^

A 3" Rough country lift kit is just a 3" longer spring with probably a 1.5 or 2" block for the back, which will level the truck. It's just that a 3" lift. I would say with a 2wd, and a 3" level I would be looking somewhere in the 33-34" range for no rubbing issues. To run a 35, you'll want to go with a 6" rough country kit if that's the manufacturer you choose. Just my .02.

The only reason he said no go on the 37's is that it's a lot of weight on an IFS suspension system. You'll have a lot of premature wear on the ball joints, etc. 35's are normally the largest that are recommended without having quite a bit of suspension wear. I'm not saying it can't be done though.
