    to fit 35's you will need a 6inch lift in order to have no issues with clearance!

    Rough Country is probably going to be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, I would not reccomend it .

    Welcome to the site!
    6" for sure and you will have to shop around for the best deal. Rough Country, Tuff Country, Rancho, Cognito are just a few.

    Default Lift

    My truck has a 6" fabtech lift with 35's. The front bumper had to be trimbed a little bit in which the tires still rub when I turn sharp and hit a bump. Love the lift though.

    Ya, at least 6". I don't really like body lifts. Theyre just not my thing.
