Default Lift Idea's

OK, I have an '87 ranger with a four in bodylift and 30 x9.5's on it now. I want to move up to 31 x 10.5's. Should i lose the boddy life and go with a big Suspension lift or just go with a smaller suspension lift? All who make a good all around kit? Don't need anything hardcore. Just something street legal and take to the desert once in a while in CA.

If ya haul ass through the desert i would pull the body lift and do all suspension, but is it 4x4 or 2wd? What all do ya plan on doing with your truck, as in how much abuse will it take(in the desert)? cause if you're just looking for cheap or quality, the price varies a lot on that.

I don't see how ya couldn't put 31s on right now though since it has 4" of body lift already.
