I have a 2.5'' leveling kit + 3'' body lift + 1.5'' aal.

Do you think I could fit the 35"s on there without the 1.5" aal. Will the 3" body lift and 2.5" leveling kit be enough?

I did, i little at first. I cut my front fender flare just a little and everything is ok now.

Note, it's because of my offset on my wheel.

Yes, the aal has nothing to do with the 35'' fiting or not.

It's just that i needed the extra leaf because i load thing in the box and i didn't like the feel without the aal.

For the cost, it was 150$ CAN with install if i remenber correctly.

If I got the leveling kit and a skyjacker 3" suspension lift would that still have room for the 35"s?

efox the easiest and cheapest way to fit 35s is too get a 2.5" Autospring front leveling kit. They are like $80 on ebay. You could install it in a few hours and then get an alignment. This will fit 35s just fine on the STOCK WHEELS. Now if you want aftermarket wheels then thats where you run into needing more lift because of backspacing on the wheels.
