    Looking for a good lift for my 2016 Tundra SR5 that will fit Mickey T 35's. I was kind of sold on a 3.5-4 inch body lift just so I didn't have to change angles and could keep the truck riding stock. I haven't completely ruled out suspension lifts yet. looking for suggestions for some quality lifts

    A body lift like that would look like total crap. That would be like buying an expensive sports car and putting the fake vents on it.

    Read the stickies in the suspension forum here. Skip the body lift.
    You can go cheap, spacers, mid level- something like 5100s or 6112 or do a full suspension- ton of great info in the suspension forum with lots of pics, reviews, costs, etc.

    With a body lift you would need to extend some wires (which ones? IDK). But that doesn't lift the frame away from the tires so you'd probably need to adjust your LCA to get more (positive) caster, to move the front wheels more forward, and if that doesn't work then you'll need to BMC. You would then probably need to shim your stock bumper (if you still have that) to move the bumper forward and away from the tire.
