    Is +3.5 overkill or should I just stick to getting the +2 LT from Total Chaos. I will be running glass and 35's and King's Adjustable. Rear I am currently mid travel (Fox 2.5 DSC) but will upgrade later to TC LT.

    You can’t go wrong either way, they are both huge improvements from factory suspension. It really all depends on what your looking to do with the truck. The 2” kits are good if you plan on doing a lot of narrow trail driving and don’t want as much of an aggressive look. The 3.5” kits allow for additional travel and keep the truck more stable with the increased track width. They also will require less modifications to fit 35” tires making it a better option in that aspect. I attached two photos of my truck with our 3.5” kit and 35” tires.

    3.5+ all day long IMO. If you are spending the same amount of money on a kit you might as well maximize performance.

    Since you're already committed to fiberglass 3.5 is the way to go.

    Like what he said.

    +3.5 is the only way to go if you are spending this type of money considering long travel. The +2 is a waste of money. You are talking about a 3" difference overall between a +2 and a +3.5 kit. If it comes down to you fitting on a trail and not with a +3.5 kit, then you probably shouldn't be on that trail in the first place.
