Default RE: what lift kits are you all using?

i'm doing a lift myself this summer. i'd narrowed it down to Skyjacker or Tuff Country, just because i'm a college kid with no money. can't decide whether to go with a 5" suspension or to with a 3" suspension and a 2 inch body lift. i would prefer 5" suspension but its just that much more. at least with a suspension and body lift i could do it in stages rather than all at once. how do you think 33's would look with 5" of lift. i'm trying to keep from having to get new rims as well.

Do the suspension lift. It's the only right way to do it. If you do decide to go with a body lift, use 1/4" plate to reinforce your body mounts, otherwise they will collapse over time do to a more concentrated loading on the sheet metal.
