trail master..... isn't that the one that requires breaking down the shock/coil over?

I think they are more expensive than the AS, and harder to install, but they're the ones doing it.

I've heard some guys complain about them, and say they wear out over the years(kind of makes since), but others say they are great....

Wow...I bought my 2.5" AS (less then $100), had it installed with a alignment for that.

ready lift makes a 3in that clears 35's but you gotta buy new fronts shocks. the kit is 229 and the shocks are 72 a pop. fat bobs garage has a complete 3 in lift kit for 200. i think that would be the way to go. spacer in front and procomp add a leaf in rear.

Any 2.5in kit should allow you to clear 35's. Maybe minor rubbing depending on tire choice.
