Body lifts don't give anything in usable suspension travel. So depends on you. Mall crawler or a real wheeler.
Hate to break it to you smartass but IFS lifts don't increase travel either, so take your web wheeling attitude somewhere else.

So, now that everyone has cimed in with their advice, how about we go back to basics:

What all have you done to the truck already?

How are you planning on using it?

Is 37's as big as you would ever want to go, or are they just a stepping stone on the way to 40's?

Yessir it is , a ongoing thread on a 30 year old truck, that has ongoing and forever questions and answers. The thread grows from people adding comments . People search the same things over and over. They come across these forums seeking answers and opinions on others experience. I just threw in my 2 cents

I know this is old I’m putting this on here if anyone might need the info but you don’t need a body lift for solid axle it’s not too bad of a task but you can put rear springs up front you’ll need trail gear shackles front and rear and you’ll have to weld on some taller shock hoops up front and cut your inner fenders to fit im running 37x 14.5 nittos they just rub the leaf spring's a little at full steer and rear of the fenders at full flex it’s basically a custom 8 inch lift there’s some good videos on you tube

A lot of folks poo-poo body lifts because they don't add suspension travel. However they do make room for bigger tires.
