like every body has said, it really depends on how serious you are about wheelin the truck. if you dont need o whole lot of suspension travel (stock travel of the ifs is 5") than i would go with a body lift if you dont mind a shorter shifter and to be able to see the frame. you can clear 33's with a minor trim of the front vallence(if you dont and you bottom out the front under a turn you will rip it off, the vallence is the black sheet metal under your bumper by the way).

my 92 had the trailmaster drop bracket ifs lift, which with 33's was very capable on the logging roads and in mud until the rear diff high-centerd.

I did the SAS because i hit a stump at idle in 1st 4lo ( so like .5 mph) and it bent the brackets like 2 inches backwards. i re-aligned it back to speck but it was bent non the less. Also i wheel alot of rocks and deep rut crossings along with dunes so i needed the greater travel of the solid axle.

i have heard pretty good things of the long travel IFS lifts from downey, other than price. decent flex and strength.

so basically the question's are:
1) does the whole budget go to lift or do you want goodies too?
2) how serious is the wheeling, lots of deep long travel rocks and ruts or spinning broodies in the mud and driving up logging roads?
3) how much time playing to driving on the road?
4) what kind of shop accesability and fabrication skills do you have?

in your situation i would go with the trailmaster or 3"body lift, and look in to the body protection and highley recommend gears and a rear locker. The road manners and handling are still pretty good. For 33's i would go 4.88 gears and an aussi locker.
