How high?

I thought I would ask about how high I should lift my B2 on here because I know I will get straight forward answers. I am stuck between getting a 4, 6, or 8 inch lift. I have a 1989 B2 Stock lift and running gear with 15X8 Rear drive wheels along with 33/12.50-15 Wild Country CPR mudders. I have cut the fenders greatly and fit 33's just fine. Now I am stuck on if I should go with only 4 to fit the 33's better or 6 to fit 35's or even bigger of 8 to fit 37/14.50-15 Toyo MT's. I love having wide tires so the wider the better same goes for height. I've had a f-100 with big tires and would love to have B2 with large tires. Any input would be greatly appreciated! I also know about the roll over issue that B2 have which I have kept in mind. I am also thinking of dual shocks front and rear, to help with the body roll.

My philosophy has always been as low as possible, as high as necessary.

That said, you're looking at driveshaft mods if you go over 4". I wouldn't go over 33's on stock axles, so 4" would due just fine since you have cut fenders.

Of course I always suggest a solid axle swap. Depending on how resourceful you are, you can come out way ahead.

I forgot to mention that when I do lift it, I will be swaping in a D35 front and 8.8 rear, I do know that both those axles can handle larger tires than stock. I to believe in the low high theory. That is why I am still stock but have 33 inch tires.
