Well if you dont mind seeing gross amounts of frame you can get a 3 inch body lift haha but that wont help much. Just get a simple 4 inch bracket lift and it will be cheap and help performance a tad.

do a 1.5 BJ space tweak your t-bars so it becomes 2" and do and 2" add-a-leaf in the rear or 2" shackle or 2" block then do a 1" body lift

Search!!!!!!!! Cheap isnt always the best....keep that in mind. If you want it done right you need to shell out some cash. I seem to feel as though your going towards the cheaper route so get a body lift and wheel the hell out of it. There are different options that you have. They were stated in your last thread and i am sure they will be repeated again here. Take an hour and research your options. Find which one will suit your needs.

a body lift is the cheapest. if you wait i often see posts of suspension lifts for sale on the marketplace from 250 to 400 bucks. a body lift is just fine if done correctley. if you are running 33,s on 15x8 wheels you realy should only need 2" body lift. if you run 15x10 wheels you will need 3 inch body lift, been there done that. the most dificult thing with a body lift is the extension of the shifters.
