another lift ?

I know that you need roughly 4 inches of lift to fit a 35"x12.5 tire. If you already have the front leveling kit does that mean I only need a 2" body lift or do I still need to go taller. I'm ready to order but don't want to go any taller then neccasary to fit these 35"s(financial reasons).I'm also looking for as soft a ride as possible, I noticed in another thread that they make a soft ride kit. Does this actually work, can you feel the difference? I'm also kinda worried about a lack of power since I've only got the 5.4, but I don't off road or haul anything.

A lot of guys run 35"s with just a leveling kit on. Minor rubbing on turns and stuff, but it is possible. How much lift was your leveling kit? If it was around 3 to 3.5" they will probably work, a tight fit, but doable. If you want to fit the tire with no worries than the 3.5 - 4" range is where you want to be.

my kit was only about 2.5 inches but does that mean that I only need a 2inch body lift and it should work ok?
