If your 4x4 it's possible, depending on the width of the tire and tread pattern you may have rubbing though. 4x2 not a chance.

go with 2.5" spacers. and you will want to strongly consider regearing, I assume the XL comes with 3.55 gears which will not be happy with 35s

I have a 2" level and i put 325/65r18 bfg's on that works out to 34.6x13x18. the hieght on these is not a problem but there is slight rubbing when turned all the way. I live in a small town and never have to deal with parking lots so it never rubs, I do plan on re-gearing 4.56 ( 3.73 now). Here's a pic of my truck before and minutes after putting on the tires just to help you see the difference.

It can be done with a 2.5" level. Thats what i did to my truck. I also have the 3:73 gears and have had no problems.
