Default 2011 4x4 ?

Just bought a 2011 Sport 4x4 and have been looking around on here for some ideas for a lift. I don't think I want to do a tbar lift because it will wear out parts. Looking at a body lift followed up by a suspension lift. Anybody have any recommendations or have this setup done themselves?

Depends on how much lift you want. Body lift will be the cheapest. And the only suspension is the 4" superlift which runs around $3000

I'd just do the body lift. It wont affect handling as much as a Suspension lift.

Yeah I'm going to do the body lift first. Any good places to order it online cheap? And I see some people doing their own gap guards do y'all recommend it or just buy the gap guard?

If you know what you're doing, then just do it yourself. If not, get the gap guards.

I know lots of guys who got theirs from Summit.
Gap guards aren't too bad to make, but if you don't know how, just buy them.
