Lightbulb Ball Joint lift vs Body lift vs SAS

So not sure what to do. Got my 86 yota and not sure what to do for lift too. Considering a ball joint lift. Will get 1.5-2" from it. It cost bout $200 with add-a-leafs for rear. Then thought bout doing 2" body lift but no sure if worth it. Then would love a SAS but coat and the pain of finding a front axle that s not outrageous cost. The SAS would be a dream but finances are not there and don't have garage to work in. So leaning towards Ball Joint lift. Anyone done it? SAS may come later

You want additional lift or replace your torsion bar crank? You need to clear those 35s? Why do you not like your current setup? More info needed about what you are trying to achieve.

Body lift $150-200
BJ & AAL You will want longer shocks $400
SAS $4500

I'd pick the middle one.

I did the torsion crank 6 years ago. Its starting to sag back down. The 35s are pretty worn out. Got them free from a buddy when I did torsion lift. So new tires are in order. Its got 31s on it now cause they have more meat, plus im letting my little sister use it. Thinking of going 33s.
