dont crank the keys all the way tight. it will ride like holy hell. a body lift is the cheapest for sure. i like a small body lift anyways. makes it easier to work on things. do that then save some mony for a nice 4 inch suspension lift. you will be way happier in the long run with the truck. also make sure the body lift comes with bumber brackets.

X2... It will ride so stiff if you crank those bolts all the way in. I think you would be more happy just buyin a full suspension set up. If your lookin for a cheaper suspension lift im pretty sure Rough country has a 6 inch for like a 1000 bucks.

If you are looking for cheap then you are going in the right direction. 3 inch body will cost ya about 200 bucks, and cranking the T bars is free! You can stuff some 35s under there with that
