Not a difficult or expensive undertaking.
Front- stack another coil spring isolator over the coil.
Rear- el-cheapo block under the leaf springs .
You can comfortably run 31x10.5x15" tires with 3-4" of lift. 33" tires are possible if you're okay with trimming the body.

thats what i going to do , put some spacers ..but my question is , after I lift the truck more than 3" what I have to change and if I really have to do it . For example I would like to lift it 4" or 4.5" but I don't know if I really need to change the track bar and lower control arms .. Also I'm not sure if I want to trim because that's my daily. Drive and I don't want to go to crazy he he. :D .. i want she look nice and have a acceptable performance when i go off roading ;D

You can buy 3/4" spacers for the front and use mj shackles in the rear for an extra 3/4"
As Tubby says running 31's is most likely. Upgrading trackbar and lca's isn't a bad idea, and watch for any vibes from the driveshafts.
