What model do you have? How much time and money are you willing to put in to it? I have 4-5 inch superlift suspension and 3 inch body lift with 36 inch mickey thompsons. I have about 20 to 25 hours in to doing the lift. (Both suspension and body) It all depends on what you want to do with it. Daily driver or not. Mine is not a daily driver. I built it for the sand dunes and a little mud every once and a while.

Body lift is alot cheaper, but if you have the choice and want to go for more then 3 inches, get a nice suspension lift.

This is true, most of the work will start underneath the truck.
