Looking to lift x about 3-4 inch and throw on some 35's. Any ideas on a good lift? Inches and price? Also iv seen alot of the spacers in the front deal and the norm in the back.

You willing to cut your fenders? Even at 4in of lift, trimming will be required.

Also not sure what you're saying in the last sentence.

I've got a 2" body lift on top of a 3" suspension lift, with 35's, and still had the fenders trimmed.

What have you looked at for lift components so far?

Well I have looked into rough country, and skyjacker. That's kinda about it. Well the ones I've seen, only say spacers in front that kinda kit. Don't want to spend a whole boat load of money. But would like that 3-4 inch lift. Also dk how to cut fenders.

any lift over 2 inches is going to run into money.
a body lift is the cheapest any suspension lift will cost.
you really do not want to cheap out if you plan on running trails with your rig.
If it breaks you are done....
fender trimming 90% of the time involves the rear edges of the fenders front and rear.
1-2 inches back and 3-4 inches up
you can sawsall a lot of it back and them hammer the edges flat and smooth.
when the tire is turned and travels up it will contact the fender
all vehicles and tires are different so an exact measurement would be difficult to give to you.

bottom line advice is , if you decide to put in a large lift do a body lift and a good quality suspension lift . 4 inches you can squeak 35s but trimming will be needed.
also the added lift and tire size will put more load on the front axles and cvs.

Hope this helps

working on a budget of $600.00 you could do these and get around 4inch lift.
add a leaf in the rear would give a little more if you have a tire carrier bumper.
should fit a 34 with a little trimming or 35s with heavy trimming and still depends on the tire and the rim offset as well.

PRG is another with very good suspension lift kits

35s is about the absolute max for an X suspension and drive train.
for a combo Daily driver and wheeler.
