    2.5 inch lift
    i have a 2wd and i dont have a lot of clearance. i have no problem getting around but it would be easier if i had some more clearance. so i 4inch body lift. would give me some space to fit bigger tires and get some more clearance right? how much would you think it costs?

    DO NOT do a 4" body lift or any type of body lift, a 3" suspension lift should work well

    I didn't know they made 4" BLs. But if you were to get one it would probably be around $150-$200. While BLs aren't terrible, a suspension lift would be much better in a lot of ways and you would be able to get more clearance overall.

    EDIT: I just saw that you already have 2.5 inch lift. Is that a suspension lift? If this is the case, you of course can't stack on another suspension lift so a BL might be the way to go if your on a low budget...

    Its not retarded look at all the prerunners with larger than needed tires and offroad suspension. Its very resourceful.

    Like others have said go with a suspension lift and you won't be sorry.
