Default I want to go bigger but have questions

I've done the Levelin kit and have it cranked up enough to where it clears my tires so I can turn all the way both ways, and it sits almost level (bout a 1/2 inch in the back higher) but i'd like to go about an inch higher. I've looked around and saw the whole body lift seen but I don't want a 3 inch body, so I found a 1.5 inch body from zone, but I was wonering if that would be the way to go and if it'd make my tires look to small. On another forum i saw a guy run this same setup (levelin kit and 1.5 inch body lift) on 33s and it looked pretty good but i want some opinions on it. My main concern is if this body lift will affect cv angles or anything like that

i dont think so.. then again it depends on how you like it...i said i wasnt gonna use them..then after i saw how it looked i changed my mind lol BUT i have a 3" BL not a 1.5 mine showed the front lip on on the grill so it looked uglyyyyyyy..i'd say do it and then figure out if you want them..also make sure u follow the directions when you do it...on mine you had to do the pass. side first then the driver because of fuel lines and all the crap..

Ill order the body lift and if i don't like the way it looks then ill find the bracket kit and order it..my main concern was the angles of my joints and arms since ive already got the torsion bars cranked up for the tires i've got now
