Default and 3'' body or 6'' suspension

so now that tax season is here im debating on lifting my truck a little more, right now ive got a 2.5'' leveling kit and 1 inch rear block, i do get rubbing when off roading and had to do some minor triming. im debating between adding a body lift so id have 5.5'' in front and 4 rear with the 35s (which i wanna keep dont wanna upgrade to 37s cuz truck handles the 35s great and dont wanna kill my mpg anymore than i already did haha) or adding a 6'' lift with the leveling kit and then doing atllas aal for the rear.. anyone have pictures of either setup with 35s so i can get an idea of how the spacing in the wheelwells would be. thanks and here is a picture of it as it sits now. 2.5 level 1 inch rear block with 35x12.5x18 grapplers on 18x9 dick cepek dc-2

It's a drug man. Just aim high or you will kick yourself in the but. I would get a performance 6" lift kit before I did a body lift. I know people with leveling kits and body lifts with no problems. My next step will be a body lift on top of my suspension lift

do you think 6 inch suspension with a leveling kit would be a little overkill? i dont wanna make the 35s look like pizza tires but they are just tucked in way to much lol

You sure they are a 4.5 backspace? When I was looking at getting those rims I could only find 5" backspace for our truck in a 18x9
