Looks good, a 4" lift would set it off just right IMO.

Yeah the stock shackles work fine! You can also just flip your existing shackle hangers upside down and move them forward a bit. I used sky manufacturing's kit and I like them a lot. They're BEEEFY and bolt on!

The truck looks way cool and i would say looks ok with the 35's without the lift. What is the width of the tires? 10.50? Where did the wheels come from and how wide are they?
