Caper

Hey guys I have a 2004 Silverado 1500. I am thinking of a lift kit and bigger tires for it but a coworker who has a 2500 HD dieseoo suggested Aribags for the rear. Now he says it raised the rear approx 2 inches. And to compensate in the fron all I would have to do is crank up the torsion bars in the front.
Now all I am looking for is a bit more agressive look in my truck. I was originally thinking of a 2-3" lift with maybe a set of 32-33" tires.
I know the lift kit and tires can cost a few dollars, and the air bags would be a cheap way to get the "lifted" look.
I use my truck for work and carry a 340 litre fuel tank in the back so I was thining the air bags may be a better way to go. I also haul my bike alot in the summer to my races.
Does anyone have any pics of their 1500's with either of these applications and how do they ride? Thanks!
