Looking to find a 4 inch lift kit. I mainly want to be able to put 35's on. I wasn't sure if a 2.5 Hellbent kit will allow me to pull it off or not. I have stock black 20's for wheels.

Yes, a leveling kit will allow you to fit 35x12.50's with the stock wheels. But, they will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock because of the stock wheel's backspacing. Your choices are: live with it (most popular choice), install a small wheel spacer, or go with a slightly narrower 35 inch tire (like the 285/65-20 BFG AT KO).

If you decided to put a level on your truck I would go ahead and replace your upper control arms with a heavy duty ones. The ball joints with the stock upper control arms just don't last on the 13-14 with a leveling kit. the ball joints start to push through the upper control arm. I just found my starting to break yesterday. I have had the HBS 2.5 on my truck for 1 year (15,000 Miles). The link below is the one I am about to order.

I also measure 38.5 inch's in the front and 39 inch's on the rear (from ground to bottom of fender)

I also plan to add 1.5 or 1.75 inch coil spacer to rear to give the truck some rake back.
