Default Suggestions....05 silverado lift?

When my tires run bald im gonna think about a lift. I have also been thinking about just some torsion keys and spacers to sit it up about 2 inches higher so i can fit some 33's or maybe some 35's. Lifts are expensive and this is my everyday car which is driven a lot on road and a littlw off road so you guys help me out with this decision.

you will not be able to clear 35's without actually lifting it.

If I do some cutting I can fit 35's on, my dad and my buddy pulled it off on their trucks. Yea I have a ways to go before my tires bald, only about 5,000 miles on them so plenty of time to think.

i'd just do some 285's and some tortion bar cranking and an add a leaf

edit: i personally dont like body lifts, but a simple 3" body lift, and a set of 35's look great

sorry but no. i just sold an 05 2500 HD 6 inch lift. 315x75r16 FC-2's. I had 3100 in lift rims and tires and that is putting springs in the reay instead of bullshit blocks and add a leaf
