What are you willing to do to your truck? What are you looking to spend? There are multiple things you can do. You have a choice of a 2", 5" or 6" Suspension lift kits. They can run from $700 to $2,000.00(rough numbers). Or you do a 1.5" t-bar crank and lift shackles. These options you can run as a daily and some off roading. Also since you are going to lift the truck and run bigger tires look into upgrading your front and rear gears to 4.11's. You are also going to need a power programmer to calibrate your speedometer for the bigger tires.
