Default Help on picking out an xmas present!

Hey guys, with the extra cash I got from xmas this year I was thinking about putting in a leveling kit and potentially raising the rear. Just wanted some insight on what to do, before I make any purchases. So heres the deal, my current Nitto's need to be replaced relatively soon and I was thinking about going up to a 35inch tire. After reading the tire fitment thread, I'm still a little confused lol. I would like to put 35inch mud tires on the stock 17inch rim, and I am willing to put a leveling kit on to do so. What I'm wondering is, what should I do? Should I go with just a leveling kit in the front, or should I raise the back as well? Thanks in advanced for the help, I'm hoping on making a final decision within the next week or so and any and all input would def help!

If you use the 2.5in HBS, your 35s should fit without any issues. You can always get the kit installed and have them mount them up to see if they would clear.

The 2.5" HBS kit on my truck (06 XLT) made me nose high, so I added a Pro Comp AAL for $95.
