    Im sure you'll be good. I'd go to a tire shop have them tell you your offset. Then find the lift you want. Just do a little research before you go spending the money. You'll be happy in the long run by lifting it. My toy may not be the prettiest, but I love the truck. My weekend warrior.

    Mine was already lifted when I bought it, but my buddy bought the same lift for his 88 toy and he spent about $800-$1000 and installed it himself. I check my lift nuts and bolts about every 6 months to make sure everything is tight. That was recommended to me.

    Yeah thats a suspension lift. I think a body lift is around $300. Go with a suspension. You'll be happier.

    Thanks for the input guys. I love the look of it lifted, but love my stock ride. So its quite a dilema. Although before I consider lifting it Im gonna find some performance parts to throw on there.
