Depending what kind of tires you are throwing under there, but I personally wouldn't do the body lift. 4" suspension should be plenty unless you are trying to compete with grave digger. LOL!!

4 inch suspension is plenty.

I have a zuk mod and BJ spacers. And while technically not a lift, I could fit 33 10.50's no problem. I am happy where I am at though.

Lots of folks have a 4 inch suspension lift with 35's.

no bodylift. too much lift just looks tacky on some rigs. 4in lift should give you form and function.

im 15 so no budget at all yet. but a guy said if he found his 5.29s he'd give em to me.

the lift will be more towards looks. im going to wheel it but it will probably mostly be mud.

I would highly suggest getting a job and to start saving up, none of this stuff is cheap from a "no budget" perspective, or even from a "have a budget" perspective because of our friend Murphy. You should use what you build too, not just keep it for lookin' pretty, a big truck is just a big waste of money if it doesn't get played with or abused. Jeeps are for mall crawlin, 'yotas are for work and play.

yea if you get a BL youll face an instant death. if your wantin to run 36s or 37s, id start thinkin about how bad your front end is gonna wear out. i wheeled my 95 p/u last week for the first time with 35s and my idler arm are shot. beyond shot. guy on here i think overrdrive has a ex cab pickup with 4in bracket lift, bj spacers, 3in BL and 36s
