Re: How much lift??
no, you wont clear 35s with just 3/4 ton springs. if it werent for the AALs, my 80 wouldnt clear its 33s.

Re: How much lift??
how much lift (block) would I need to clear 35's with the 3/4 springs? I want to retain the load capacity in the back, and get lift springs for the front. Would a 4" lift suffice?

Re: How much lift??
yes, just stick to 8" rims with ~4" of backspace. a shackle flip might be a good option for you.
