I just got my first truck and Im kinda confused about the different ways of lifting a truck. I would like it to be about 3 inchs higher than stock. I also dont want to spend a ton of money on it right now. I was wondering if there was some kind of spacers you can add to raise it (blocks, leaf springs?) Ive read the past posts about different ways of lifting but I dont know what all is involved. I just want to be able to install it without to much hassle and having to mess with tech stuff like toe in. Im sure there isnt anything that meets all that but is there something fairly easy. I also plan on keeping the stock rims and tires at least till they wear out. Im not going to be off roading much except for dirt roads. How much does adding a leaf spring raise it? What is involved to adding a block? I plan on having this truck for awhile and dont want to mess with the integrity or durability of the truck. Any input, tips, links, would be great! Thanks in advance.

 

You sound like the perfect candidate for a body lift, whether you have a 4x4 or a 4x2. Lots of info from past posts on body lifts, and a lot of people on here have them and are very happy with them (me included.)
