4" lifts with 35s, tires too small?

Trying to decide what to do with my truck. I want to run 35s, no smaller and no bigger. Cant afford to pay for 37s and dont want the even less fuel mileage with them

Im currently thinking 4" Procomp front springs for my truck, with 5" rear blocks. Right now the front end sits about 3" lower, and it has a 2" leveling kit. Yeah, front springs are shot. Will the 4" springs look good with 35s? I dont want to raise the back up a ton since i can pretty much fit 35s stock. Thoughts? Pictures of your setups? Any input is great, i love looking at different options

Heres how it sits now, with a 2" leveling kit and stock rear and bald 285/75/16s





This is my buddies 06, the exact look im going for. I love the stance

A couple older pics from a few weeks back, when I had snow....

4" skyjacker springs in the front, 5" ready lift block with a 2" AAL in the rear... but I got a 250 so I needed another 2" to get that slight rake I wanted.




an older pic... but a good level shot from the side...

it will be fine. 35's with anything less than 4" looks too stuffed IMO. i assume you're keeping the stock wheels?

both those trucks look great!!! decided im doing 4" procomp springs and 5" OUO rear blocks. they are nice blocks because the u bolt actually goes through the block

no, these king ranch wheels are almost my least favorite super duty wheel

Ya 4" lift with 35s is what im going to do.....Its been two years since I lifted my truck I used the Zone 4" kit and im still using the stock 265/70/17 wheels/tires. I have the new wheels now for 6 months and waiting to get tires. That wheel/tire combo that your goign to use looks nice too.

yeah if you're running aftermarket wheels definitely 4", maybe even 6" depending on what width and backspacing you're going with on the wheels. i had just shy of 6" under my old truck with 35's on 10" wide wheels with alot of offset.

great combo, love the toyos on machined Addicts.
