IDK what I'm going to do on this one

You could keep you're 2" bodylift, get a 6" fabtech and then throw on some mean looking 35s. It'd be sitting pretty tall.

If I did that though, wouldnt I have to do all of the gearing and stuff like that?

with that lift, forget 35's. You'd want 38's or 40's.

You never have to regear. Only if you want your performance back. If you are okay being slower than snot, you can leave whatever gears you want.

LOL true. I really like the power on my truck right now. I think the max I will go is 35" tires. If I get a 3inch lift along w/ my 2in body lift, I will 5" total of lift. Is that enough clearance for 35's or no?

Maybe. Depends on your backspacing.

ya i think youl will man, id go w 34 if you really like your truck to be dece on the take off haha. 33 are a common yota thing and 34 would get you just above that. stay away from that 6 " if you can help it man lifts arent so grand in the snow, makes you real light on your wheels, ya i got a 3" on my 84 xcab and i think im gonna get a 2" body till i get the money to up the suspension. just picked up a set a 35s off craigs list for cheap now i gotta lift to accomodate haha. so any info on the body lift would be greatly appreciated

You l have enough clearance for 35's and it will look bomb! but when you go off road it will rub a little not much but a little. Also might i suggest looking at the old man emu lifts? Their a tow lift and are so sweet! I think you got the right idea and youll have to post some pics of your rig so we can see it bro.
