Default Body lifts

I'm wanting to lift my truck approximately 3" of lift but dont have the money to pay for a 3" lift kit and ALL the extra stuff you supposed to have to make the 3" kit roadable. I'm reading that a 3" suspension requires so many mods to radius arms, extended ABS, extended brake lines, possible driveline mods to get rid of vibes..........YIKES, not to mention the 3" ful kit from ROVERTYM is 2,240 BUCKS. The 2" kit is just 710.00. I was thinking go with a 2" suspension kit and a 2" bodylift. I want to run 32's and NOT have the 32's look stuffed into the wheel wells, so I think a total of 4" will let me run 32's and still have plenty of room in the wheel wells. Whats everyones experience with a 2" bodylift????

Most people don't recommend body lifts because it puts a lot of strain on the frame, friend I have that works with a lot of discoveries stopped doing body lifts because he would see so many frames crack eventually. I would just go with the 2" suspension lift, springs and shocks you can do for $600 easily, well if you do it yourself. There are a lot of different ways to get 2" of lift though. You can put those spacers in also but the ride won't be as nice.
