if you're just tryin to clear bigger tires, trim your factory fenders - that'll give you way more than an extra inch of clearance and for free.

otherwise, installing a body lift is probably the least expensive way to go - costs about $100. or, you can install coil spacers but that'll cost just a bit more.

you can stack coil spacers but again, installing a 1" body lift will do the trick too and most likely for less.

go with a 1" body lift and trim your fenders, if wheel rub is your problem this will give you over 2" of height and all your buying is the body lift.. inexpensive and more than what you asked for.

If you like the looks of the fender trim do that. My wife hates the look. Other wise go with the BL.

Default Lift

Thanks all. I dont want to cut the fenders or have issues with rub.

I just like the "look" of a 3 1/2 lift with the 35's I am getting soon......

I think I will just go with another 1" spacer. I didnt know I could stack.

why don't you sell that RC lift and get a teraflex 2.5" coil lift. It fits 35s nicely.

1" body lift. Better than raising the lift if you are on a budget, because you won't be getting into the drive shaft/alignment/caster spiral.
