You could run a body lift or go with a 4.5" kit, Rancho and Superlift make good kits in those sizes. Stay awat from the Skyjacker 3" kit it's a POS and will make your truck a POS.

Default my thoughts

How much money do you want to throw around if you have a lot then check out http://jdfabrication.com/index.php?o...d=13&Itemid=29 their product has to be by far top of the line as far as production stuff goes and your truck does not have to ride like it has a lift.

but if you have less money check out http://www.chaosfab.com/80501.html and add some nice 2.5 sway away coil overs.

Trust me do a lot of research on your own before you buy anything and talk to everyone because one guy will tell you the exact opposite of the guy before him. Spend your money wisely and think about what you want the lift for tire size or wheel travel. Also remember a lift changes the CG of your truck. So if you can get better wheel travel with larger the OEM tires with out effecting your CG as much that sound like a lift well worth its cost. But like I said everyone has there own ideas.

And what ever you do, do not buy a body lift.
