If this is a daily driver then you may want to budget for the SYE.  It will also ride rougher due to the control arm angles being steeper, long arms are supposed to eliminate that some, but that is more $$$.  Just some things to think about, but other than that, go for it.
If you are going to flex it, you would most likely still need to trim to fit 35's.

If you are going to run 35's and you want to keep it low check out this thread on trimming.

You will still have to adjust your bumpstops to keep from getting into the body.  The front may still rub depending on your backspacing on the wheels. HTH
I cut sheetmetal for free.  It's fixing it that get's expensive.
