2 or 3" body lift? How much tire with 8-9" lift?

[redz 1970 K5]

My current dilemmas...

I have to replace all of the body mounts in my truck without question. I found a full Daystar poly kit for $85! Anyone have experience with this kit? I have used Energy Suspension mounts on another truck, but no Daystars...

Since I am replacing body mounts, I am going to chuck in a body lift... I usually stick to 2", but was wondering on 2 or 3 this time. I would like to do all spring, but once I go over 6" in this SWB truck, I know I am asking for it.

I am trying to stuff a 37x12.50R15 Goodyear MTR on a 15x12" MT wheel. I LOVE this setup and look and have had it before on another truck.

So, I am debating on 2"-3" body to ensure clearance of the 37's on top of a 6" spring lift.

thanks!

I have 6 inch spring and 3 inch body to clear my 38's (actual size is 38.2). Great fit for daily driving but does rub on medium wheeling. I would say this lift combo would be perfect for a true 36-37 tire. Not sure how the MTR's run size wise? I have hread som brand 37's actually measuring a 35.

I run a 3"body and 4" front spring & 5 1/2" rear springs with 35" 12.50-15 SSR Swampers. I had to trim the front of the rear fender well. I do alot of twisty/rocky trails so my stuff flexes quite alot. I am not an extream rockcrwler like some of the fullsize rigs I run with but I do follow them and then watchum get stuck on the VW size bolders, then whip out my winch cable to pull them off if they don't make it. I drive around the knarly stuff.
Hope this helps
