I did a levin kit on my old truck and it took the same size tire just fine. All I had to do was shave a little bit of the lower plastic valance

Minimal thing to do is put a 3 inch body lift if you want to have any room to flex those tires

imo body lifts dont look good as a levelin kit and if you did that the tires would scrub really bad on the frame

Leveling kits on these years of trucks do nothing more than allow the suspension to travel farther than it is intended at that height and causes premature wear on the cvs and many other parts. Many people have ran 35's with just a body lift and had no issues. Just my two cents though
