The 'stance' of the one in that link in your sig is exactly what I want, I just prefer smaller wheels/more sidewall. Regardless, that is irrelevant here, I am just interested in whether or not you can run a true 34" tire with 2.5" of lift.
BTW, after laying under mine tonight pondering, I don't see why it would be difficult (even with my lame a$s excuse for welding skills) to fab a step out of tubing (round or rectangular). Could still make it bolt on to avoid anything permanent. The tranny crossmember would still hang lower.
I'm hesitant to do the 4" or greater lift. Hell, just tonight getting into my DD (stock height '88 K5 with 33s) after some really heavy deadlifts had me thinking.........

The picture in my link is actually before the 2.5 inch lift. It was hard to tell what the previous owner actually had. He had 2" blocks on the rear but I think it was to make up for the rear sagging. It would rub barely when I turned but my old frame was also F'd and my right wheel sat more forward than the left wheel. I have the 2.5" on it now and have no issues. I will take a few pictures this weekend because I am never home when it is still daylight outside.
I say 34's because they measure out pretty close to a 34. Technically I think they are a 33.4 and 12.8 wide. They are TOYO 325/60/18s.
I don't think there would be an issue with a 2.5" lift and 35s. I will take a picture of my wheel to fender clearance when turning tonight to see how much space I still have.
