Yes you will be able to fit 35's with the 2.5 inch lift. National Tire and Wheel (ntwonline.com) is a good place to order from. If you get a suspension system which is with rear springs its going to be alot more money than the kit which will come with an add-a-leaf or blocks. A lot of money to spend on just 2.5 inches in my opinion. When you order it make sure you get everything you'll need: coils springs, lift for the rear, shocks, c-bushings or radius arm drop brackets. I dont think you need a pitman arm for just 2.5 inches. Brake lines and driveshafts will be fine.

all you will need is springs and c bueshings for the front, blocks and u bolts for the rear, and shocks. nothing else. I belive JC whitney sells the whole works from tuff country for about 250-300$
