The steering column is firewall mounted but the steering box is mounted on the frame - you have to watch for stress on that rag joint. The engine and fan are mounted on the frame but the radiator and fan shroud are mounted to the body so you have to watch that the fan doesn't make contact with the bottom of the fan shroud. There may be issues with your transfer case shift linkage, maybe not. Things like that have to be taken into consideration. Then there's the cosmetic issue. The bumpers are mounted to the frame and when you move the body up, the gap gets noticeably bigger. It's something you'll notice in the wheel wells as well.
That kind of stuff might not bother you. To me, a spring lift with new shocks is simple and just "right".

Couldn't have said it any better myself. Yes 4" lift will be fine with 35" tires for what you intend to use your truck for.
