Just get a 6" Fabtech or Pro comp and be done with it..
Or youll end up paying alot more for a 4" plus a body, because the install on both
will be expensive.. ive seen the 4" ranch for around 1600, 2" body is like 100 but to have it all installed will be like 800-1000..

If you buy a 6" lift they run around 1600, then install will be like 400 - 600
Plus with a 6" suspension lift youll get more ground clearence..

And in my appinion, body lift look like crap, you see that big "gap" between the frame ...

But this is My $0.02

buttt... there is also the gap guards you can run to eliminate the gap problem.. i have the body lift with a 4" suspension and it looks really nice but the 35's look a little small in my opinion

This is what i'm thinking about doing not sure if it can be done but here me out, I have a leveling kit in the front the spacers not the top mount, I want to buy the leveling lift kit and install that so I would have 4.5 in the front and 2 in the rear, and install new shocks I know its not the right way buts its the cheap way, any one heard of any one doing this.

i like doing my own work actually so instalation wouldnt be a barrier. unless you think its too much to do in your drive way? i raised my brothers jeep 4" suspension in our driveway and it wasnt that hard.

Nice alot of people dont do there own work..
But anything can be done in a driveway as far as im concerned..
Ive built an intire Muddin Truck in mine..

Well if your gonna do the install yourself, youd save yourself alot of work
going with a 6" sus. and forget about the body

a 4" suspension lift is plenty for 35" tires! Going with a body lift on top of it later is ok too, but you will be very happy with the performance of a 4" with and 35's! Looks good, and can still go on the tight trails with out worrying about height clearance!
