Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the shocks, suspensions, and lift kits section.

Welcome to the forum. There are many threads here about lifting 3rd Gens. Brandon at BTF makes a quality spacer. Read about it. Body lifts are easier on your suspension, maybe.

I have used a spacer lift on my Ex. 2.25" front, 2" rear. I experienced quite a few issues including shot front ball joints and scored rear axels, and blown wheel bearings.

I am not the only one that had problems, but there are many who used spacers and reported no issues. Its hit and miss. Pay your dime, roll the dice and hope for the best. The best you can do is read, read and do some more reading and then make your decision. I'm stock height now and very happy about it.

Just my 2 cents.
