Body lift will be much less expensive and easier to install.

cheapest way is to get the 30s and no lift. second would be a body lift and some a tbar crank and som 31s(this is assumin that you stay with the stock rims)

thats doesnt sound like the tire problem that sounds like a wheel back spacing problem^^^^
if you have stock wheels youll fit 30s no problem
