I had lifted on 3.5'' rough country spindles with 1.5'' daystar coil spacers and 3'' rear blocks on 285 75 16's. It had a great height and ground clearance.

Sorry it's not the clearest pic, I took it at dark with a cellphone.
Btw good looking truck

Man spindles are probly a whole of of a lot less of a pain in the *** than a body lift but that is up to you. I personally love the silver on black but thats just me.

Body lifts are a hell of a lot harder to put in then new spindles and blocks, and it will look much better the a body lift and my opinion, and I think the black and silver would look damn good
