Here's mine i got 3 inch blocks in back, and 2 inch torsion crank in the front with a 3inch PA body lift. I was able to clear 33x12.50xR15 tires with no problem. I got about 300$ total in it for both lift kits.

Do you haul or tow? How are the blocks holding up? I have heard mixed things about the blocks. I want to get blocks and do the tb lift too.

blocks are not the best thing to do. they hurt ride quality, and put unnecessary stress on the suspension. my vote goes to the hockey pucks.

neither way is going to be too expensive. why not just do it right and get an ACTUAL lift kit with leaves and springs and all that other garbage you 4x4 guys use...
