Basic Teraflex 2.5.

Shocks adapters will work great.

High enough for 35s but low enough to avoid needing all the fancy extras.

If you're worried about how that kit holds up, these pics are that exact set up:

That's exactly how I started out. Perfect for your situation. Later on you can add front lower adjustable control arms and adjustable track bar for a more stability when on road driving. I know some people don't feel you need them, but to me they basically returned the ride and steering back to stock handling.

^^^^^ What he said.

I just got my 3.5" series II lift put on a few weeks ago and cant be happier. I think it rides better than stock. I had a 4x4 shop put mine on because I'v heard of people putting lifts on wrong and getting the DW. No issues with mine Keep up the good work RC!!!!
