I started out with a 2" strut extension leveling kit because I wasn't really sure if I wanted to lift it that much. Long story short, I want more air!

Can you add a body lift to the existing leveling kit without issues? I suppose if I went suspension lift it doesn't really matter because I'd have everything apart and could take it out no problem.

What are the pros/cons of a body vs. suspension lift? I've heard of guys nonstop tearing CV boots with a suspension lift, but maybe that is with a certain ****** brand or something?

If you want the same ride as now, do a body lift. If you want more height then 3" do a 6" suspension and bilstien adjustable struts in the front.
body lift is cheaper btw lol

It aint easy.... bein' Easy ;)

a body lift won't mess with the leveling kit...now with suspension lifts, i've never torn a CV boot, i have a 6" rough country on my dodge and I have used a 6" Fabtech on my old ranger...no problems with either.
