Here's a question... Do you want the height for performance or for the look? If it's the look, you could look in to some flat fender flares or even cutting your stock ones... IMO, it makes your lift look larger than it is! I'm on a 2.5 teraflex lift with 33's and cut flares and folks swear mine is higher than that...

Just a cheap thought

looks odd to me, and that front bumper must weigh 500lbs!

That would be incorrect. Any size suspension lift will cause changes to the steering/handling/functionality. At what height you choose to address those issues will be based on personal preference, budget, and what was or was not included in the lift.

At 3.5" it is not uncommon to lose a driveshaft and to possibly want some form of steering correction, as well as the more common caster correction and axle centering issues.
