Everything I have read so far says as long as you don't go higher than 3" you should be fine, but most just put on a 2.5" leveling kit.

I have a 3" level kit on my truck and it's fine theonly thing is that you don't have much clearance with your upper control arm so if you do a lot of off roading I don't recommend getting a 3"

no it doesn't if I go over a big bump kinda fast you can hear it rubbing but other then that it's fine... Don't get me wrong I have a 3" in my truck and I like it a lot I didn't have to add any leafs in the back it sits level and I rides like I didn't do anything to it

Thank you so much for this post, I was wondering if I made the right move ordering 35" s for my truck yesterday, now I can rest assured. Great looking truck btw

No all it's going to do is make your truck sit a little higher the wheels and tires aren't going to "fix" the rubbing total chaos makes a upper control arm that makes a 2.5" level kit not rub and I called them asking about my 3" level kit and they said that it would work and make the upper control arm stop hitting my springs but the only think is it's a $739 part... So this summer my friend and I are going to make a long travel kit for our trucks...
