There's a wonderful search button on here. You'd be surprised what it can do

Torsion twist in the front (dont go more than 2" though). Free (except will need an alignment)
Shackles or add a leaf in the back. The shackles will give you about 2-3" depending on how much spring is left in your rear leaves. The add a leaf will get you about 1.75" Shackles will be about 70-80 dollars; AAL is about $35
Body lift will give you 3" and is around $270

Right know I have a body lift, torsion twist and shackles and I really like that setup and i have between 5 and 6 inches of combined lift. A lot of guys run an AAL instead of shackles though because shackles will flatten out the springs faster.

Cut him a break man he's new to the forum. I did that too when I was new. Just gotta get used to it.

and those are old prices. The prices are way higher for that stuff now.

I want it to be high cause im putting 24 inch rims on it

 

[01STrunner]

I'd say use the shackles then. I was able to stuff 35s but thats because I'm an ST. The Ex's and Mounty's can fit 33s with that much lift so youd have a good amount of sidewall even with 24s

 

[01STrunner]

With 24s im assuming you want to use it as a street truck?
