I am wanting to put a 6 inch suspension lift on this truck.  I am looking at the Fabtech as of now. I was wondering if anyone has this set up and how you like it or what you would have done different.  I am also looking for any info on 35 inch tires that you would recommend or not recommend. This vehicle is going to be used as an everyday vehicle back and forth to work. I also do some snow plowing, so I want a tire that is going to last for a while yet give me good traction and cleans out well with snow or mud. Right now I am looking at the Nitto Terra grappler or maybe the trail grapplers.  Please help this rookie set up his truck. Heres the kicker.... I am going to the 4wd expo in Indianapolis this weekend and am planning on buying everything there on Saturday so I need responses quickly. Thank you!!!

I did a story about a Fabtech shop truck a few years ago in Off-Road Magazine. It was a 2500 HD just like yours. The truck worked well and looked great.

As for tires, the Terra Grappler is a solid choice, but since you mentioned mud and snow I'd check into the Trail Grappler first. The Mud Grappler is very aggressive--probably more than what you'd want if you do much street driving. The Trail Grappler splits the difference between  the Terra Grappler and Mud Grappler.
