A torsion bar crank up to 1.5" for the front and a pair of 2" lift shackles in the rear will give you 2 inches of total lift for about 60 bucks. Add a 2 inch body lift (around $250) and you'll be at 4 inches and you can run 33's (I think) with some trimming if you are still running your stock rims. This will atleast get you started. Anyway...There is a wealth of info and knowledge on this site. Search around and see what other ideas are out there. Welcome aboard.
