whatever you do, don't get a 4" body lift.. that's just asking for trouble.

I run add-a-leaves in the back of my t100. It works out great. You could add the new struts up front, a 3 inch body lift, and add-a-leaves and get your lift. I would suggest either fabtech stuff or see if Old Man Emu makes stuff for you rig. It is top notch stuff.

umm..

Well.. the fabtech kit is a little bit pricy.. plus i really dont go offroading at all.. because of my school/work schedule. In my situation, would it be better for me to save and get 2.5" spacers in the front?.. al i really want is the lifted look. Preformance to me doesnt really matter since i dont do any offroading! THANKS

Understandable. The spacers might be your best bet if that's what you're going for. If you do get a body lift, do a 1 inch at most. Any more than that and #1 it looks dumb and #2 it really isn't that safe. As for lift blocks, they are ok, but you'll get axle wrap, and that sucks. You could go with add a leafs and a small lift block.

Well, EZ-lift has a 3" Spacer that im planning on getting and at the same time im gonna get a 2" block from Suspensionconnection.com. Do you think i should get 1 or 1.5" add-a-leafs and another 1" block?

WOULD THAT DECREASE AXLE WRAPPING???

The body lift will come later when i have more money to get bigger tires.. I just want the couple in. for now!

THANKS FOR THE INPUT!!~Sherwin

You could go with the 2 inch block and the 1.5 inch add a leafs. However, do not stack lift blocks. It's beyond dangerous. Nither will decrease axle wrap. The only way to lift your rig and not have axle wrap is to get and acutal lift spring. It has a bigger arch to it and eliminates (for the most part) axle wrap.
