here is mine when I had the SL, 1" bodylift and 35's. I don't recommend running 35's with my old set up unless you don't have flares.

no. the rear is very close and if you use your truck off road you will rip them off.

I would if your going to run 35's, you might also want to lower the bump stops in the rear more then the SL does.

Get cutout flares and trim the back of the front bumper and valance and you don't need the body lift.

When you put the cutouts on, you trim the rear of the front fender and both sides of the rear.

Add to that some valance and bumper trimming and you've got plenty of room without pushing your CG up so much.
