I thought a 5" lift was a 3" suspension lift plus 2" body lift?
Can't add an extra 2" suspension ontop of that...
Unless you're looking at a drop diff kit?

5+2 7" lift would run 35`s

Ok, after looking at the calming kit online, the 5" lift looks like a drop diff kit with extended shackles and lift blocks in the rear.
The best you'll be able to do ontop of that, short of a SAS, will be a set of 2" rear leaves and some front coil spacers and a body lift.
Best i can see (and id love for someone to prove me wrong), all this kit will offer you is the ability to run massive tyres and give a better roll over angle. However, these vehicles aren't made to run massive tyres, you'll be snapping diffs and CV's every other outing and attract alot of attention from the transport department because the nav will be anything but road legal, and will look it, too. (assuming you're still wanting a road use truck)
So, Why?
If you're after increased offload ability, get a patrol and play with the suspension on that. You'll get a boat load more flex on a vehicle thats built tough enough to handle larger tyres. than you'll ever get from this kit.
All that being said, go for it.

Not too mention that 35's are illegal in ever state now. You can get away with 33's or 285/75/16's as they don't stand out as much & you can get the engineered too so you covered (in NSW that I know).

I was talking to a bloke at a show on (I think) Kumho tyres stand, he was running 35/12.5's on his with the 5inch lift alone, said it scrubbed on the sway bar a very little bit.
Didn't look to do much off road though, more a show car for the tyres

Dont know if anyone on the forum owns this rig, but this is a 5" lift with 35s... Looks good, but doesnt look like the offroad ability is dramatically increased. Maybe even worse... I suppose this even answers my question of running 33s with the stock front bar (albeit a little modification). Bugger all room at the front...

smells like realist,
now something for the dreamers and the americans, (they go nuts in america)
you can run 35's and up it just requires alot of work your better off with 33's lockers and superflex gear. if your looking for the most economical way out.
otherwise spend bulk cash and do what you want, 6"lift is actually engineerable, its just the tyres that arent. you just run roadies round town, changing tyres does require sometime before you get into the track, but so does airing down your tyres.

couldnt be bothered finding the link for the page with heaps of trucks running 9" lifts and shit.

as for it gainig alot of attention i would say minimal i run 33s an 4 inch lift and it looks like the way it should roll off the factory floor except with muddies if,33s balance out wel with width of the body 35s wont look that much more crazy im seriously considering upping to 35s once i have power upgraded and the calmini kit
