Default 2" suspension lift?

I know it may sound stupid, but I would like to get a 2-3" suspension lift if possible. I know there are a kabillion body lifts, but I really would like a susp. I've only searced a small amount. I would settle with body lift, but it's a last resort, I don't know if any ya'll feel the same. Or........if ya'll say a 4" would be equivalent to a 3" body I'd probably go for that I just didn't want to get that high again.....don't laugh I know some of you are.....I still like to drive fast around corners also....oh yeah this is a 2009 GMC cc SLT

thanks guys

A 4" suspension lift is like 1400 bucks and a 3" body lift is like 300 bucks.

Rough Country also makes a 3" lift for the GMT900's. It includes a drop crossmember and strut spacers for $250. They also include UCA's and upper ball joints to help your BJ angles and droop travel out for $430 total. It's really easy to install and it looks really great on the new body style trucks.

Also, body lifts can look great and they'll keep your frame lower and in turn, your CG for slightly better handling, but hey, it's going to be a lifted truck what do you expect?

Here's sk1er18's '08 Sierra Denali with a ZONE 3" body lift and 33" ATZ's on 20" rims.

Dont get a body lift. They are pointless and make your truck look like crap due to the gap between your frame and body. If anything just get new torsion bar keys. It wont effect your ride at all and it wont look bad like a body lift.

Also look at http://www.truxxx.com/chevrolet_prod...t_products.htm

I have installed many of their kits, quality is very good. I have never had an un-satisfied customer.

local shop is going to lift it....they can put in different block in back. as far as the front some spacers and different upper A-arms. the ride quality will not change and will net
3" lift total hopefully. Also will not look like a body lift
