how much can i go?

hey guys i got a 1988 gmc sierra reg cab 2wd want to lift it when it gets nicer outside... i was just wondering how much i could lift the body up before i gotta get a suspension lift?

You can only get a 2 and a 3 inch body lift, and they're around 100 bucks but I highly advise going against a body lift, they're extremely ugly. A 6" lift from Rough Country is 975 bucks and they're a real solid kit. Or you can get some 4 inch lift springs for the back for 150 bucks. There are a lot of possiblities out there such as straight axle conversions for the front ends. You can get a body lift, but in the end you'll always want to go bigger, so I just suggest going with a suspension. Plus you can save up the money between now and then. But just look around and keep your options open.

Sorry, I realize you have a 2wd so you don't have the torsion bar suspension.
