Body lift is relatively cheap and will give you a "real" three inches of added tire clearance. Torsion bar crank and blocks (like 44dakota said) will give close to the same amount, but may affect ride quality and wear out front end components faster, plus the tires may still hit the fenders when the suspension compresses.

It's not terribly difficult to do yourself if you have some tools, some mechanical ability, and one or two friends to help you.

What about blocks in the rear and torsion keys up front? Has anyone done something as simple and cheap as this? Blocks are 35 bucks and torsion keys are about 90. My buddy did it to his dakota years ago, I was there and what I remember torsion keys ere the hardest to set. But we got them in and a couple beers before the sun went down

Imo $90 keys is a waste of $90.
Yes, some people buy them and crank up they're truck.
Others just crank the stock keys to the same effect.
I know I can crank till I hit the bump stops with my stock keys so buying new keys to accomplish the same thing is a waste.
Im running 33x12.5x15 with stock keys and no rear block added.
I touch the body in rear of wheel well but clearanced it with a knife. Only touches the plastic.
Biggest is they hit the frame. Front of tires when turned.
Keys will not help this.
3" BL and offset wheels will help that.
But they dont hit enough for me to make a big rush of that. But it is annoying.
