    In my own opinion, dont go bigger than a 1" body lift. It just looks haggard the bigger you go. Maybe do a budget boost?

    yeah 1" is a nice boost and goes great with a budget lift or something under 4" in helping with tire clearence ... i'm not fond of the puck style lifts to be honest they can give a staggered lift because depending on how worn your old rubber bushings are they can compress ones more than others .. i like the daystar lift that comes with everything new but they do run upwards of 120 bucks

    2" coil spacers are a good alternative.

    I agree with lethaldose, the 1" body lifts that are basically just longer body mounts is the way to go for a body lift. I'm okay with a 1" BL to get that little extra needed for tire clearance, but body lifts bigger than that just don't look right to me and the only clearance gain you get is from the tires.

    I've done many 1" HP body lifts, never had a problem. Get good pucks, and use grade 8 bolts. All of mine have cost $25 total.
