well if your only objective is putting bigger tires on, a bodylift will work for that (meaning you put larger spacers in between your body and frame) though that is generally not a good lift.

if you want your bigger tires to articulate and have your vehicle become more capable, buy a suspension lift (larger coils and shocks) and raise the belly and be able to go up to a 33" tire with a 2.5" lift. just depends on how you are gonna use it

body lift = +-200
suspension lift = +-650

can you have body and susp lift at the same time and be capable to go offroad?

 

[RunnerUp]

yeah, and alot of people have both and go offroad regularly

what are you looking to get out of this, what terrain will you be using it on? what size tires do you want to put on your truck?

Mine's been fine in most off road situations with the bigger tires and the exra one inch my '99 coils give me but another two inches and sliders would really give me more wiggle room off road.
