    Well a lot of people like coilovers IE fox, SAW, toytec, etc. You could also go with OME set up, which is shocks and coils.

    Would a 2 inch lift look any good? Or is 3 the minimum that is noticeably different?

    6" puts too much gap between the fender and the tire. 3" FTW :p

    Taste is taste. I don't care for the gapping you have even with 35s. But if you like it, that's what matters...and I must say, you've done a very good job with a consistent aesthetic on your truck.
