Should I install the body lift?

So I live in Mazatlan and the roads here look like a plaid quilt. I have the normal suspension set up of the SAW/OME combo--also have the 3/8 trim packers to install. The truck handles everything well--I have to go over big curbs often(slowly of course.) Most day's I don't go over 50 but occasionly I have to do about 70 or 75 for 200 miles. I also off road it pretty good somtimes--there is a local run that goes through a river for 60km--I guess my debate is--is being an inch higher going to make me much more prone to rolling? I want my truck to be functional--I think the lift will help my clear my 285's a bit better. What are your guys thoughts?

Talking Body lift

I have a 2" RB body lift. Easy to install. Affordable. Works great and 285s are nothing to clear now even when offroading. Still rub a bit sometimes, but I plan on trimming out the fenders real well soon to stop that.

My vote is 2" Roger Brown body lift. www.4crawler.com

I have a 3" body lift with 33x12.5's and the truck feels just as stable as it did at stock ride height with 31x10.5's.

Does that answer your question?

With 1" you'll never notice it in your handling.
