Default Suspension suggestions for my '01 4x4

I have a little body lift and 33's and I was wondering what suspension upgrades would be good for better offroad riding. Nothin too big and I want to stay inexpensive, but I don't want anything crappy that I'm gonna break.
Any suggestions?

wont that make my 33s seem tiny? and probably be expensive. i really only want a few inches to gain some clearance for offroad.

What about a spring over axle? I've been reading about them being done on jeeps. What all would be involved in doing that to my truck?

I believe springs should already be over the axle.

If you're not wanting to spend the money on a full suspension lift, your only other option is 2" block/torsion key lift. They're cheap, but won't really help much off road. Without putting bigger tires on it, you won't gain any clearance under the axle!

Get a leveling kit. There are many kits out there for you truck. Anywhere from 1.5" to 3" will get you what you want out of the front.
