Default 35's with offset

Hey all, I have a 06 screw 4x4 xlt, with 3" lvl kit sitting on 35's and was talking to a friend of mine about offsetting my wheels more, they stuck out about and inch or two, and was thinking of putting more of an offset. He said it would be to dangerous with 35's and with how high my truck sits, since I don't know, I figured I'd ask what you all think?

More you push out the more your wheel bearings and ball joints hate you. It's not so much dangerous. More how fast you want crap to wear out.

I wouldn't do so unless you put a real lift on the truck.
The 3" level itself puts A LOT of extra stress on your front end parts and spacers would just add to that.
You'd probably be replacing front end parts quite often if you have both.
These trucks shouldn't go over a 2.5" level. My truck sadly has a 3" as well and it ripped the boots on my CV axles open due to the aggressive angle.
