Thing is I am on a budget for this mod, (paying a shop to do it and buying the lift kit. But I am wondering if the ride/safety comprised with 2", 2.5" or 3" lift. More than likely it will be a 2" not really looking for anything too extreme, and I like the option of going back to oem if I choose, doubt I will. What size tires will i have to swap to accommodate the lift?
As always advice/experience is welcomed and sincerely appreciated. Many thanks photos would also be nice.

84 swb 305v8
15x10/295-50-15 tires

I didn't really notice any difference in ride with mine with a 3 inch body lift. I could do it again I would of just replaced the 3 inch supesion lift with a 6 inch suspension lift and pick up the three inches that way instead of with the body lift. Bu I didn't have much money back then.
