    I am looking to put a lift on my z71. What should I go with ... the suspension or the body lift? I like the suspension much better but the money is out the wang. And I am only looking at a 3" and if I get that would size tires would look good for it?

    what do you have to change when lifting a truck like just a 2-3 inch lift?
