smallest lift possible? some guys on here will prob tell you they've run 31's with no lift and just a little fender cutting. you could do a 3" body lift and clear them or get some coil spacers and some 2 inch blocks and clear 31's too. easiest/cheapest would be goin the body lift route

would 1" blocks and 1" coil spacers do the trick?

It might, it depends on how bad your springs are sagged.
Here is mine with 2" block/spacer on 31"s

Oh hell I dont remember, they were stock 15"ranger wheels. Negative on the alignment, I was maxed out on the "extra" camber bushings and still had bad camber.

You can get maybe an inch of lift without needing the camber bushings. Remember as the TTB suspension cycles the camber changes ALOT. Welcome to the world of TTB's. I was broke, the tires were free, and a SAS was in my near future. So I didn't care too much, I ran it like that for little more then a year before my SAS.

i got mine for about 75 bucks at napa. they are 3 1/4 degree. This will guarantee that it will get aligned. (unless you have suspension issues) Plus if you do go bigger later on you will already have high enough bushings.
