Default --what would you buy?

ive asked before, but now i have some money to play around with
i would like 2 fit some 31s under my 97 2dr.
what kind of lift should i get so it looks beefier?
i can afford a suspension lift but i would like to go 3" suspension and 2 inch body

would i need shocks for this?
any other material?
haa if anyones bored can you tell me what you would get? and maybe links to it?
thanks!
ps i took my glasspack off because i got a ticket for it, and put a flowmaster on it-WEAKKKK

as far as i know theres only a 2" suspension lift avalible for 4wd's, but i wouldnt suggest a 2" suspension lift just save your money and crank your tbars about 1.5" then add shackles in the rear and throw a body lift on top off all that and youll clear 31's with problems at all.

i know theres a few guys on here running the 2" suspension lift i just cant remeber who they are off hand, but i know wolfpack has the body lift+tbar crank/shackles combo.
theres quite a few lifted guys around tho so im sure theyll chime in with some pics.

i would do the t-bar and shackle lift and throw a 2" body lift as well that'll give you plenty of lift for the 31's

I would not waste my money on a 2" suspension lift. If you wanna spend some cash then buy a 6" lift.

Yes, I do have a 2" suspension lift... hence my answer.
In other words... you can get 1.5" of lift by simply cranking the t-bars and doing rear shackles. If the extra 1/2" is worth $500 to you then buy a 2" suspension lift.
