No way jose. The rough country kit is basically a leveling kit with 1.5" blocks in the back. You will need the 6" kit or 3" body

you shouldnt have any problems. a 35" tire is 35" no matter what size rim its on. just make sure the rim has enough backspacing for the width.

on the 3 inch rc lift you dont really need the blocks that comes with the kit becuase the bed is at 39 inches so when you put the rc 3 inch coils you be at 39 for a perfit level the 1 inch blocks that come witht he kit well still give you the rake
