with the 3" kit your front will be sitting higher than your rear. 35's will increase the truck height also. I'm guessing you don't want to raise it a lot so you can still get into it. I am 6'1", put a 2.5" leveling kit with 33"x13"x18" tires on my truck and now I have to somewhat jump to get into mine. Very nice truck you have there Plenty of money to be spent on these things, and before you know it the mod bug will get you too

Hey man first I'd like to say congradulations on the new truck, it looks great and I'm sure it's only gonna get better. You can clear 35's with just a leveling kit from what I understand, but would recommend doing a little lift for ride quality and a lil more suspension travel when going off road. I have a friend with an fx4 with a 2.5in suspension lift,( not leveling kit), on 35's and it looks and rides great, also, the truck doesn't sit way up in the air, it rides higher than probably any truck you'll see when out driving but not ridiculously tall. As for your gas mileage, hate to tell you but it aint that great stock so doing those mods to it will make it a lil worse obviously, but should'nt be too bad.

Our ranch is n moore tx. its about 55 miles south of san antonio. na that chair is pretty pricey but i found a used one for about 1/5 the price new. and it was only 1200.
