i would reccomend just going with a suspension lift. you could do just like a 4in spindle lift and you would be cool with a lift block in the rear. i just dont like the look of body lifts because you can see right between the frame and bed. thats just my 2 cents.

sikchevy your def right, the look of body lifts does suck, trust me i got one... but it is def a way more affordable way. i payed about $400 for all my lift on my blue truck in my sig, suspension that woulda been like $1500 and its only 4"s

285/75-16's will fit on stock Z71 height without rubbing. I ended up cranking my t-bars a little (about 1.5") and adding a leaf to the rear just for appearances.

this is probably your best bet 98hardtopz if your nto lookin to spend to much money

note: get steering aligned after you do this if you go down this road
