No its not a bad idea. you can go with a 3" body lift. put 2" blocks in the back, and crank the front torsion bars to get that inch. Thats assuming you have torsion bars. And the tires size won't really matter. With just the 3" BL you can go 285/75/16 or about 33x11.5. and you can only go up from there

If you know how to turn a wrench the right way it shouldn't take over a day. You could probably belt it out in 10 Hours.
