I would go 6 inch to fit 35's. I have a 6 inch susp and a 3 inch body lift and i have 35 12.5's and the tires rub on my radius arms hard over. So depending on the width of your tires you may want some extended radius arms.

i only have a leveling kit on my truck and ive got 33s and could probably squeeze 35s in there no need for a 6in lift and 3in body lift to just fit 35s
and your tires will probably always rub the radius arms no matter how much lift you get

It has nothing to do with the lify or tire height that they rub your radius arms. Its the fact that stock radius arms are straight and wide tires rub against them at full lock. You can buy "bent" radius arms that aren't straight so that they bend where wide tires would normallys rub and thus dont rub. 4 inches of lift is plenty to run 35s. My buddy has 36s with a 4 inch lift, they do rub the fenderwells a little at full stuff but nothing too bad.

yeah if your tires are really wide it dont matter how tall they are they will rub...unless you do wheel spacers or find a major deep dish wheel...im doing 36 x 12.50 x 15 super swampers with 4" lift (on the 95 in my sig) and ive seen many other trucks setup like that with little or no rubbing...if they rib get some extenda fender flares and cut the wheel wells out and inch or two

I understand the rub is from the stock radius arm. Im not saying you need 6 inch and 3 inch to fit the 35s im just saying a 6 inch alone will give 35s comfortable fit. and a little more room for offroading and suspension travel. But if its not going to see any of the offroading knock yourself out with the 4 inch. the 4and 6 were the same price when I got mine.
