Generally with just a levelling kit figure 33" and leveling kit w/body lift figure 35".  You need to realize all AV's and all tires are not all the same size and have the same clearance etc.  Your best bet is find a good shop local that specializes in lifts and tell them what you want to do and they can fit you a good lift kit w/ a good wheel tire combo that will fit and not rub and make you happy

This is an excellent point.  My summer wheels/tires are wider than stock with a different offset.  (Have a wider stance than stock.)  My 285/60/18 summer tires and 265/70/17 winter tires have the same diameter, but I've had to do some trimming due to rubbing with the summer tires at full lock turns.

I just got done putting 315's on my Av that come out close to 35's and I had to do more trimming than Darren had to do to the cladding. I have the Readylift leveling kit with performance accesories 3" body lift. I love the look of mu truck and believe it was well worth it. The guy at the 4x4 shop I went to said generally with 35's you need a 6 in. lift but every vehicle is different. Best bet would be to contact a local shop and see what they say. My guy was wiling to do whatever it took to get it to work including fabricating.
