None of the above. The correct answer is a 6 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift.
Seriously, if you are gonna spend the money to purchase and install a suspension lift, I would go with the 6 inch lift. I'd say the same for the body lift also.

i agree with wandell if you are going to lift it go with the 6" fabteck and 3" pa body lift, you would be able to clear 37" and maybe 38" if you cranc up your torsion bars and do alittle trimming and dont go to wide, i had to do alot of modifications to fit my 38" 15.5" tires and they still rub just a tad when i turn the wheel all the way in ether direction if you would like to go as big a tire as posible let me know and i will break it down exactly what you need to do to fit the same tires i got, good luck

I would think the axles could handle 37's or 38's. You will have to regear though with tires that tall.

regear at least to 4.56, 4.88 is what i would recomend for 38" tires but it is alittle harder to get
