I hear ya man. I'm already wanting a 6" lift but I'm worried it may look 'funny' on my reg cab. I've drooled over your truck since I been on the forum lol.

Is there a 2.5in body lift that comes with all the bumper relocation brackets and gap guards? I eventually am going to do the RCX 6in suspension lift, but just don't have the extra income at the moment.

Exactly right. I'm bored with my leveling kit. It's as if I don't even have one now that I'm so used to it. I lived it for awhile, but now I want bigger.

For the record, 35s will fit on 4x2. Mine has 33s and ha plenty of room for a bigger wheel. The only adjustment I will have to make is trimming the plastic splash guard.

I just had to trim the corner off the plastic valance, but depends on offset and back spacing.

In the long run you will end up spending more money fixing issues with your IFS. I would recommend just going with a lift kit if you want more lift but to answer your actual question I do think that can be done but you will have very bad angles.
