Default mini lift possibility

OK.. I know everyone has poo-pooed the flares on my BOSS, and by no way am I caving in but they did rub a couple of times on the inner well going over speed humps. I am also vertically-challenged so I don't want a big, lifted truck. Is there a very small lift kit that might work for me.?? Also, I have never changed the shocks or struts since I have owned it. It has about 105k on the clock. I bought it at 85k. Is there a slightly bigger shock or strut option that might give just a tad more clearance

You could do a level kit in the front and a bigger block in the rear that'll get you anywhere from 1-3 inches if yours is a 2wd I think a 4x4 strut is taller otherwise something adjustable like the rancho quick lift struts might work for you or also body lifts are always an option

You could always trim a bit of plastic so it doesn't rub going over bumps anymore, and keep your low status.

If it's the truck I'm thinking of, get rid of the flares.

It's the truck you're thinking of, and he's not asking for opinions. He's asking for solutions for the current setup. I'm not a huge fan of the flares either, but it's not my truck, and not the topic of the thread.

Agree with Ranger and a level in the front would only make it look worse.. IMO
