I dont find nothing wrong with body lifts if its a street queen for the most part... Now on my truck (heavely offroaded) Id never run one.

suspension lift

i have a 92 with a 2 inch body lift 32X11.5 tires and 3'' off set wheels and it looks good and seems to hold up really good as well. but with factory hieght 33x12.5's will fit i have a set on my 88 150 and my 95 150 with out any lift and with factory wagon wheels on the 88 and them crappy chrome 95 style wheels and they dont rub unless im turning tight and even then it is very minimal

the most common brand body lift is made by a company called performance accessories. you can buy them in either a 2 or 3 inch lift if i remember correctly...
