Torsion crank you can get about .5-1.5 (Some say 2" ) lift on front more of a level job unless you put the blocks on the back which you can use universal.
Body lift you can get a 2" or 3"
they offer full suspension kits for our truck up to 3" but is like 1-1.5K for the kit. Not really worth it IMO..
I did mine... torsion cranks + 2" body lift and 32" tires i gained about 5-6 " total lift..
My post and pics before/after are on the before after sticky in the root of 2nd generation general board.

You can also do the torsion bar crank, which should net you another 1.5" or so, and make your truck look pretty good without having to spend a ton of money.
There is a bolt-on 5.5" kit available, but it's expensive, a lot of work to install, and isn't all that well built, IMO. I wouldn't go that way (again, lol).
Or, you can go all-out and put a solid front axle in it...
