Lift/level kits
I'm wanting to do a 3"-3.5" lift/level kit. My question what would you guys recommend? A 3" doc racing shock kit or spacers? Just looking for some info and/or suggestions. I'm stuck between those two choices.

I'd just do a 4" lift if I were you. A 3" level would put your geometry out of line and you'd tear up your front end. A 3.5" wouldn't even allow you to get the strut back in place.
A 4" will keep your stock geometry, allow for your 35" tires, and will be less stress on the front end components of your truck.

This right here!
Whats your budget?
Are you 2wd or 4wd?
There are a few kits out there if you want to go bigger than 3". Fabtech, BDS, Pro Comp, Rough Country, Skyjacker etc...
But Rancho has a 4" kit that I believe you will be happy with. But does comes down to if you are 2wd or 4wd.

Research Fully Extended Lengths Before Ordering!
Edited because I at first didn't see you had a 04-08.
Give them a call and talk to Alex he is very helpful and will get you set up with what you needed!

Yes installed I there Boss Coilovers & Rear Boss Shocks along with ICON UCAs, 04-08 2" OEM Rear Blocks, & 1.5" Bora Wheel Spacers last week. Ride is great! Stiffer than stock but absorbs the bumpers more smoother and much less body roll! Mine is a 2013 though.

Nice. Yeah I noticed by the profile pic you have. I'm leaning towards boss or the bilsteink kit they have
