how high? as cheap as possible would be to crank up the torsion bars to lift the front about 2" and buy (or make) some lift shackles to lift the rear about 2" all for less than $100... with that and the stock wheels, you should be able to squeeze on some 31's

you could also do a body lift instead (about $200-250) which would be easier on your truck... adjusting the torsion bars will cause wear on just about everything while a body lift will retain the stock suspension settings


or you could do both tbar/shackle lift and body lift. RCars2 has done both and his truck looks AWESOME with 33's



or 6" superlift, tbar/shackle andthe body lift. but you'd be looking at about $2k just for the lift and then you would still have to trim your fenders shell out the dough for 34"-36" tires and new wheels

HERE is some more info

Thanks for repsonding.
what about leaf springs would that be another cheap way.. by doing the springs, and the shocks obviously what else would i have to do.
I want to do atleast 30" tires. any good places you know of where i can get a good price on a set of tires and wheels?
Thanks
Brad
