Question tires with 3 inch body lift.

I'm looking at a body lift to put on my truck for a decent price. I found the lift on a web site called Autoanything. It's a 2-3 inch body lift and i'm wanting a 2-3 inch lift. no more than a 3 inch lift. I want to still get decent gas milage but also have some fun off road. Stock i can already get my truck in places most cant and a small lift would take it just to the spot i want it. If you want to look at the sight i found it at the address for the exact lift is "http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/61A3002A0A0.aspx#productInfoTabs" I also am going to want to get some larger tires. I'm really not sure what to look at. I have a very small budget and want to get the best i can for the lowest price. My truck is a 90 toyota pickup 4x4 with a 22re engine.

Get the tires first. A body lift isn't going to do crap for you as far as trail clearance. The tires will though, and if you have rubbing probs, THEN you get the body lift. 33x10.50x15 is a very popluar choice here and makes a lota sense.

What size tire? You can run a 32 with hardly any rubbing and a 31 stock. With a 4 cylinder and stock gearing, I'd stick with the 31's.

33X10.5's can be fit with a small lift but I would budget for regearing soon. As you'll see unless you score a great deal on some used thirds, regearing is going to be much more expensive than the lifts.

I see no reason to buy new tires if the ones you have aren't worn out, but 33x10.50 will fit with NO lift on the stock rims.

As elripster suggests, gearing will likely be in your future though.

But it sounds like you really like to 'wheel, so the taller tire makes the most sense and gearing/lockers is your next step anyways.

Those will do NOTHING for alleviating rubbing offroad. They only help on road. BL will get rid of rubbing.

Get some 31" or 32" mud terrains, should fit well with little or no rubbing, most of the time you need more axle clearance so the bigger tires the better so if a body lift is do able its a ok option. Dont go bigger than 3 though, when you can see lots of the frame it looks ridiculouse
