    Ive done light research on new suspension and tires, Im currently looking at the dirt king 2.5 and their upper control arms for the front with the 2.5 king 14" for the rear with a shock relocation kit. I occationally haul 300-600 pounds, I have previosly ridden on trails mostly at medium speeds and want a smoother ride. I want to keep my stock rims and interested in how larger tires like 35x10.5 would compare to my current 265/70R17, with tires like that would I need to regear? Do i need better than stock leaf springs and will long travel in the rear work with just Garage Hammer Hanger or do i need the relocation kit aswell?

    35s wont fit without a CMC and hammering with a 2.5 inch lift..and yes, at 35 inch tires, you would need to re-gear. and if you raise the front 2.5 inches and do nothing to the rear, you will be nose high. And if youre hauling 3-600 pounds, you need rear springs to accommodate that much weight. talk to @AccuTune Offroad for what you want to do and they will help you build a package for exactly what you need.
