Default Need Small lift opinions

I have a stock 92 power ram w150 that currently has 31x10.50x15 tires and want to try and fit 33's while i need to get new tires. From looking at the truck I feel i can squeeze them in without any rubbing but am looking online for just a 2" front/back lift to give it the proper clearance but dont want to have to buy a lift kit. Im thinking about front/rear add -a-leafs since i can find them. Im having trouble finding any sort of small lifts for these trucks so let me know what you guys think would work to fit those tires. Thanks

It's hard NOT to lift a Gen.1 at least 4". Whether you go kit, add-a-leaf, or shackle flip, you're gonna go 4 - 4 1/2" regardless. Maybe custom shackle hangers, but that's a LOTTA work. Maybe just a 2" body lift?

I'm with you, I like the height now and don't like the height with 4" lift. An extra 2" would be good though.

What lift does a shackle flip give?
