6 inch lift i would say  i dont think 3 inch body lift would clear that  but i may be  wrong  i had 6 inch suspension and 3 inch body and i cleared 37x12.5

3 inch body lift, 2-3 inch blocks in the back, and ford keys or crank your t-bars and you can clear 315's.

I had a '96 with 305/16's and 3"  body lift with no issues, mine was a DD though, if it was a DD I would do body lift and crank the bars a little, if your gonna wheel it I would go  with a little more lift .      just my  ==2cents

buddy runs 35's on his 94 with a 3" body  but rubs sometimes in the front...better bet is to go with at least a 4" lift and 3" body to be safe and save your tires... btw  i have mudducks old truck if ya wanted to come look at what a 6"sus and 3" body looks like with 35's  im not too far from ya

I got a 4" lift and 33s on my 94 z71 and if it bounces had it will hit the fenders... but I also had 33s on my stock 99 z71 and they never hit!

The kit I got from summit was around that price and it had excellent instructions, Performance Accessories brand, not Summit brand.
