    Icon Coilovers up front, Camburg UCAs up front. Icon Resi shocks in the back, Deaver springs in the back. Probably want to get extended SS brake lines, and other stuff....talk to Wheelers.

    There are quite a few people with IFS running 35s with 3" lift. Yeah, they did quite a bit of cutting (tub the firewall) but you do not have to put a SFA under the truck to get 35s to fit.

    Probably 33x12.5x15.

    Thanks for the input! I figured they were at least 12.5 but I wasn't 100% as I heard of a few people trying to throw 13.5's on our trucks...which I don't think is possible.

    I agree with all that has been said above. 35's will be a lot more work, and will crush your MPG's , bog you down (unless you supercharge), and affect your non-wheeling performance. To boil it down I would go OME from wheelers, (which I think comes with the extended brake line?? anyone?) and 33's. That will make you very happy.

    If you get 35's let alone 37's wouldn't you have to re gear??
