Default lift and tire size questions.

Hey all, I've got a 2002 2500hd with a 2.5" torsion key lift. I'm currently on 315/75r16 (34.6x12.2) all terrains and I rub on my inner plastic and a little on the front bumper when turning (only drivers side). Was wondering if a 2"-3" body lift would clear them completely. I'm hoping a 2" would be enough cause I'm not a fan on body lifts, especially on the 2500hd's cause the frame sticks out like a sore thumb. Thanks, Colton.

It would clear the inner plastic but not the front bumper I don't believe. If I remember right, the body lift doesn't raise the bumper. Bumper is connected to the frame.

The front bumper will come up with the body lift. They have 2 of the lift pucks that go between where the bumper and the frame connect. Then in front of each tire is another point where the bumper connects, used for adjustment, but there will be another piece to accommodate for the lift there.
