Exactly what I did for this exact reason. See this thread for pictures on 32s:

I was in the same boat a few months back. I went with Moog OEM springs and Bilstein 4600s. I ended up with an inch lift all the way around.
Is this the end result or did you change it? That's about what I want. Maybe 1 inch more.....
This was the end result.
At 115K miles the original shocks were shot. The springs were probably fine but I figured I should go ahead and replace them too.
I had just gotten new tires and didn't really want a lift. It was already high enough for my purposes. I do some desert exploring but nothing too extreme.
I had a local shop, Tinkertoy, do the work. When I picked it up I looked noticeably taller. I asked the owner about it and he said that Moog springs were a little taller then the factory ones. It has settled about a half inch in the last 5000 miles.
Prior to doing the work it sat at 19.5/20inches (driver side/pass side) from hub to the top of the wheel well arch. It's now at 21.5/22. It had the funky lean before as we'll. It doesn't really bother me.

Remember that all coils will settle some after install. I started small (2" in front, 3" in back. TRD/890). I ran this for years with my 31s. My lift slowly grew with topout and trimpack spacers. Then I went to the ToyTec COs and LC 9 wraps to my 861s (~4" in front and 5"+ in back). I'm still only on 32s but fully stuff them when wheeling.
My point is, go bigger than you think. My lift is starting to look too small again (it has not changed, just my perspective).
