Which should I do Lift or Level

I am looking to lift the truck so i can put bigger tires on it and for off roading. I want to keep the ride as close or better than factory. I am debating whether to do a leveling kit or a suspension lift. I need some advice. Im only looking to get about three inches. Here is what the truck looks like so far. Still a work in progress

 

Lift it. F--- it.

 

lift & bigger tires

 

so what is the better lift kit that is out there. there are so many

 

Love the MGM with the shell!!

As for the suggestions, I believe in "buy once, cry once" go with a legit "reasonably" priced lift (i.e. OME or Bilsteins) so you don't feel like "damn, should have spent the money on this instead of that."

Nice ride, and welcome to TW!

 

I'd go with the full blown lift if you could. Im pussin' out and getting the bilstein/aal mini lift Friday. I would love to go all out myself but im going to be putting alot of miles on it to and from work and don't want the gas prices to kill me. If I had a old beater to use for work then i'd definetly be putting some 33's or 35's on it. Good luck with your decision.
