5" BDS lift with 35's?

I just scored a good deal on a complete 5" BDS lift kit from les schwab ( clearing out overstock, got it for $400 bucks, thanks craig's list!) and as luck would have it i just bought new 35's about 2 months ago. Anyone have any pics with a lift that size with 35's? I know the kit says thats the tire size that should be run with it, but i see a lot of people running a lift this size with 37's as well. I'm wondering if i'm gonna end up lifting it a looking retarded until i do something about the tires?

I like the look with 35's.

37's really need the correct wheel to keep it working right.

If you look at my avatar, that's about what it looks like. It's kinda hard to see though. If you want, I can upload some pictures later tonight when I get home from work, just let me know. I have their 5" kit and love it. I currently have 35" Dick Cepek FC-II's, but I used to run 37" TSL Swampers. I liked the look better with 37's but tight turning was difficult as they rubbed quite a bit, whereas my 35's hardly ever rub. Any other questions about it, just ask. Also, I would get a different set of shocks if you don't already plan on it, the front pair just don't seem to last, I'm looking at going to Bilsteins. Just my $.02.

I was going through the kit today and are you supposed to stack the lift blocks with the factory blocks? because for some reason that doesn't sound right to me, and the blocks were only 3" or so
