How much do you want to spend? Lift kits from Australia start at around $1200AUD and keep going past $2500AUD.
Might be easier and cheaper to go with a spring over axle conversion (SOA)

Ebay Australia has the best and biggest range. Dobinsons Springs are good

how do you Do a soa?

Cut the spring mounts off the axel and weld them to the opposite side. Basically your reversing the contact point between the spring and axel. Also I think you need to shift the axel a bit forward to clear 35's. You may need to get a longer drive shaft with a soa too. Anyways, if you have to ask you should probably hire someone.

Hello,

x2.

Shipping costs may be a killer.

A 2 in/50 mm suspension lift can work for you. Dobinsons is a good choice.

You might need to move the front axle forward 1 in./25 mm to accommodate 35 in. tires.

SOA requires care with the shafts.

As noted above, it might be better for you to hire someone or a shop for the suspension change/SOA, regardless of your choice.

I've got to ask, why do you want 35s? These trucks are super capable on 33s which clear easily. It doesn't really need a tummy tuck like a jeep. Just some armor and quality 33s will go almost everywhere.
