Default Help with lift??

Does anyone know of a good way to lift my truck 3-4". I don't really wanna do a body lift. I have the autosprings 2.5" leveling kit but I wanna lift it a little higher. I don't wanna go 6" because I just bought new tires and they are 33's and it would look dumb with a 6" lift then. Plus I don't really want to ride that high anyways. It's all for looks and don't get offroad much. Any help would be appreciated.

On top of the leveling kit you could add some new shocks (I think the Bilstein 5100's?) and crank those up a couple of inches plus do either larger lift blocks or an AAL for the rear. That should get you the couple extra inches you're looking for.

I have not yet found a 4" lift. I personally am about to add a 3" level with 1" rear AAL's from FatBobsGarage. Should give a nicer stance without being overbearing. Plus, for $180 can't beat the price either.

There was a 2.5" suspension lift (I know not 4") listed on 4wheelparts.com but it is no longer listed.
