need a better definition of cheap. When i think cheap, i think a few hundred bucks. If you want a 5-6in suspension lift it will be around 2k. A 2in body lift will be $200-250

Just wondering if 2 inch body and 2 inch shackles torsion keys with 31s would give me enuff clearence. And if i go 32 inch tires will they rub with the 4 inch lift.. i kno im going to have to get new shocks as my front end is sagging a bit but i think i might go with that kind of lift.. not shure having hard time making up my mind.. Somone told me that if i go 5 inch lift they break to often. is that also true

I found body lifts for 130 bucks and the torshion keys with shackles for around the same price.. all is going to be under 350. But was wondering if this would give me enuff clearence for trail riding.. and some mudding i kno stock hight just doesent cut it.

hey man, u can trim ur fenders to clear bigger tires. there is a few guys on the s10forum running 2"bl2"sl with 31's 32's and 33's.the amount of trimming and ur backspacing determine what size u will run.
