I'm kicking around lifting my M1008 before winter to run 35"s or 36"s and need some 2.5" or 4" front springs. I want some that ride good. No stiff ones like Skyjacker or Rancho.
 
Fender trimming needed

You'll need do some fender trimming if your going to run the 2.5" springs with that size tires. I running the same setup (2.5"), you might be able to run those tires without trimming if you go 4"
 
with the info i got from this board and searching around i decided that i'm saving my pennies for the ORD 3" kit.

my friend just had the rear spring pack on the truck rebuilt by a local shop a year before i got it. it rides great so this makes the most sense to me. with a little trimming 35"s will fit just fine. i ran 35" BFG AT's on my last few trucks with 2.5" Rancho terrible springs. hope this helps...............Bill
 
I maybe should run 4" then cause the truck is clean and I don't wanna really trim it. I've had 36"s on a stock 1ton for test fitment and it looked like with 2.5" and 5" backspacing one may be able to do it. I'll have to see I guess.
