Should I?

So I find myself in a bit of a conundrum....

I have a 79 chevy k5 blazer, 4wd stock height on 33s. The body is a little rough but I have all the sheet metal I need to fix that problem. My wife has a hard time getting in and out of it as it is being she is only 5'3". If I leave it 4wd drive I want to do a 4" lift with some 35s, but that will make it that much harder for her to get in and out.

So my conundrum is do I lift it or do a 2wd conversion and lower it? Either way there will be compromises and sacrifices to make, 4wd lift = harder for the wife to get in/out of but i'll gain ground clearance for our random winter weather like we got lastnight here in southeast KS. 2wd and dropped = easier for her to get in/out of but we sacrifice that winter driveability. Also I can pick up a 74 blazer parts truck for a full convertible top conversion for $125.

I'd like to know your opinions on this.....
