thanks for all the advice i have a 2002, club cab, 4X4, 4.7L, and i thought the whole point of a CAI is for easy air flow and has anyone done a throttle body spacer

As far as lifts are concern. You can throw that idea out if you are looking to do a cheap suspension lift. The cheapest one is $1500, and pita to install. You can do a body lift a little easier and much cheaper, but that really doesn't gain you anything except allow you run 33's instead.

Cranking your tb's will gain you 2 inches in the front. Just enough for 33's. With that you will need blocks in the rear to lift the rear a little.

Look on ebay for superchips. They are cheap right now. $150

If doing a cai. Look into making your own. There are a few threads on here about how to do so. It will save you a lot of money.
Read through, a couple people already mentioned they're no good, including myself.

Spend the extra money and buy a Diablo as it has more control over the engine parameters than a simple chip,
