great starting point. but i'd recommend the 3 inch bodylift, becuase it's more common, and after market bumpers and such are more common for 3" bodylift....and since your already going to go at it, might as well get that extra inch

I want to suspension lift, the 2 inch is cheaper but sounds like it leaves front-end barely within tolerances, so I plan to go 3 inch because it lowers steering comonents as well.
