I don't think the work would be a problem. I think you may have answered my concern, but I just wanna make sure I understand ya right. I would consider my truck a work truck. Haul the boat, pull the utility trailer,etc... It's my main driver now, but I don't expect that to continue. I like the looks of 35's and would like to only go as far up as I absolutely have to. I like to be able to use the bed and it gets hard to find a hitch drop that isn't crazy at some point. I have some old humvee 36's on the back now and it clears fine for me. So I think 4 inches of lift is all I'd want to consider.

I'm thinking what I've learned here is that a standard lift kit would work best for me?

Thanks,,,

Yep a standard 4" lift should be fine up to 36". You might get a little rubbing w/36's at full flex but it does not sound like that is going to happen much or ever given your use. You'll won't rub with 35's.
