Default Body lift or suspension lift kit?

I own a 2008 dodge ram 2wd 1500, and i'm trying to decide what would be better between a body lift, or lift kit. I'm not going off roading or anything i just want to give it the look. I don't want to go any higher than 3 - 4 inches. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you got the cash, go suspension. If you don't, body lifts are OK, but make sure you get a real kit. Don't go making some makeshift body lift out of black pipe or hockey pucks (no joke, seen them both done before), and don't go any higher than 3" (although you wont find a manufactured kit above 3" anyway).

Do they make lift kits for '08 4x2's?

Don't know about the 2x4's (don't follow them). But they do for the 4x4, so I'm sure they do for the 2 wheelers as well.
