ALL SUSPENSION LIFT, always if possible. Especially if your only looking for four inches of lift.

If you already had 12 inches of lift, then yeah a body lift would be ok.

If your looking to save some coin you could just shackle flip the rear.

Check out my gallery on my 77, those are 33 1/2" tires (255/85/16) and I only added front 1 1/2" lift/leveling coils and 2 degree C-bushings. I have test fitted 35's on the front just in case I want to..... I don't. For a daily driver, 33s are great, coils, ALL bushings, tires AND rims was just a hair under $1400. The coils were $125, bushings,,,, C-bushings, radius-arm bushings were $50, the rest was tires and rims.

For 33" tires Id just go with a leveling lift. New springs all around and Id ditch the factory rear blocks.
