I just bought a set of 35X12.50X17 Trail Grapplers on XD798 Addicts, I got them fairly cheap so I don't regret that.

Now my real problem here is how I'm gonna get those tires to fit, I got several choices on the table right now but I'm unsure on which route to take:

I can do a 3" Spindle Lift that seems to be the best route for now.

Or I can also do 3" Coil Spacer with Longer shocks But I heard bad things about coil spacers making the control arms hit the spring bucket.

I can also to a similar route of RC 3" Suspesion lift but I heard it does the same as coil spacers so at this point I'm really confused on what to do? Can I anyone help me decide or have any other options? Take in mind my truck is a 4x2 and wont do much offroading, I just wanna be able to fit those 35" and have a decent ride.
I've also heard about bilsteins 5100 adjustable shocks anyone know anything on that?
I'd very much appreciate the help!

Just do the spindles thats it.

Thanks for the help man! Do you if I'll have any trouble with the tires? The rim has 18 Offset & 5.71 Backspacing? 35x12.50x17 Tire

+18 or -18? If plus you'll need wheel spacers I'm running a 1 inch spacer all around to clear 12.5wide tires. And I have had zero issues from the spacers.

It is a positive 18 offset so I'll guess Ill have to get spacers, now anyone know of a video or any type of instructions on how to do the spindles? Haven't found anything on YouTube
