2.5" leveling spacer up front. I replaced the stock rear block with a 3" block giving me about 1.5" of lift in the rear. Block is made by readylift. A 3" rear block may put you too high in the rear with a 2wd as there is no rear block to replace on those models, so you may want to consider just adding a stock 4wd block which would give you the same 1.5" of lift in the rear.

I can't comment too much on the AAL as I've never made that modification. But from what I've read, the AAL will stiffen up the ride in the rear. If you tow often, this may be your better choice. I can say that my truck rode exactly the same after the front and rear lift were added. The ride didn't change until I had the tires installed.

I have the same truck went with 2" Redi lift up front and 3" int the back.
I have 33". Are you rubbing in the front at all with the 35"? If not how close are you to rubbing in the front?

I hate to put this thread in perpetual highjack mode, but will summarize my post on the tire/wheel fitment thread. Tires measure out to 34.5" per Mickey Thompson specs. Some rub on UCA at full lock, but no rub on front or rear of wheel well. I didn't need to do any trimming. I still have a couple of inches clearance at the closest point to front valance. Tire shop filled tires to 38psi, but think I will raise to 40-42 psi based on load/inflation charts.
