Buy a Hummer put some 22's on it and call it a day! all kidding aside a good coil spacer lift would be perfect for your situation.

I did TF's 2.5 BB kit with shock extensions. Great way to go without having to worry about replacing shafts or anything else. IMO it's the most complete kit for the $$. Got a good deal from Dave at Northridge and I'm sure TF would answer any ?'s you have.
I know later on I'll go with a true coil lift lift kit once I put in new drive shafts, but this is working great for me right now.

You should consider a Spacer lift and some 33's. You wont need to worry about anything.

Chop the flares and call it a day.

When you get the 33's, add a leveling kit or 2" BB.

Yep, if you only running 33's do the Teraflex Budget Boost. Very inexpensive kit. You retain all your stock stuff and your only out $250. That was my first lift and I was very pleased with it.

I have 33's now with no lift just trimmed my fenders. The tires clear fine and I think it looks good!
