whats a good combination of body and suspension lift?

I was reading through the IFS lift sticky thread. I am running 31's and would like to run 33's. I am looking at the wab fab 2 inch bj spacers and aal. I know I would have to also get at least a 1" body lift. The thing is I've seen 3 inch body lifts for just 20 bucks more than the 1 inch. See anything wrong with going with 2" sl and 3" bl and running 35's? I can get 488 and 529 gears for about the same price through my shops account. I know this might have been discussed, and I have been searching and reading threads. Also i know with a 3 inch body lift, I would have to extend some brake and electrical lines, correct?

Don't need body+suspension lift for 33s. Nothin a sledge can take car of either for rubbing :-) do some more searching about 33s and 35s. Keep it low you'll love its capabilities when u go tall it gets scetchy.

x3... I would run 33/10.50's but that's just me...

Don't "need" a lift for 33's, but BJ spacers lift and add droop in the suspension travel by just as much...


(pretty sure that's right)

EDIT: No that's not right... The upper control arm or it's bump stop do not change.

It adds flex in the compression or up-travel in the suspension, b/c the lower control arm's bump stop is now x inches higher from hitting it.
