Lift question

okay guys im new here but i have a question..right now im running a 3 inch body lift on my 89. ive been runnin this for over a year now and i think its time for an upgrade. the problem is im torn between going for a 5 inch bracket lift or just getting a 2 inch toytec lift.. anybody have any input on either.im running 34" tsl's right now and was thinkin of either hopping up to 35 or 36 but keeping my stock gearing for a while. any opinions on all this? thanks for the help!

ya man it was a cheap way to get lift and i would do it again in a heartbeat. i would deff suggest you to buy the bj spacers and if your not happy then get the bracket lift.

yeah iwas just worried that id be sorry i didnt go bigger down the road..but that seems like a good plan...is anyone pushing 36's or 35's with stock gearing? my truck pushes 34's okay with just a doug thorley header i just didnt know if the extra inch or two would make a big power difference
