I don't have much experience with this model but you do have a few options. It all depends on how tall you wanna go. You could lift the front 2 inches with new lift coilsprings or Daystar spacers or add a 3 inch body lift. You could also combine the two for 5 inches of lift inexpensively. Or you could just add a full suspension lift.

I wouldn't mind leveling it out and doin the body lift, but will i still be able to run 33's without scrub. I want 33's and iv'e seen that i can do a 4in. suspension lift from rough country for about $600, and easily run 33's without scrub. But im not sure what would be better. My budget is kinda tight, i dont really want to spend more than about 1500 or 1800 on tires and lifting it. I mean it's only 2wd so its all looks really, jus want somethin a lil bigger.

I'd go with a leveling kit and body lift then. I would think 5 inches of lift would clear 33's.

I would sure hope so. Well i found that it will cost me around $350 for body lift and leveling coils, or about $550 for 4in levelin kit. What would you do?

I'd get a couple of friends and install the body lift yourself. Body lifts are only a value if you can do the installation yourself. They are not that hard, but it is time consuming, which is why labor cost is so high. If that's not an option, you may as well go with the 4 inch lift kit.
