lifting my 02 edge 2 wd

i will be lifting my truck within the next 2 weeks and wanted to get ya'll's opinion about the best route to go. i think i'm going to get a 3" BL but want the truck to sit level. what's the best route to go? I'm lifting the truck for looks alone and would still like the smoothest ride. thanks!

Lift the truck using the body lift then level it by cranking the torsion bars. The only troubles you'll run into with cranking the torsion bars is a harsher ride and it's a little harder on the front end components but it's nothing major. With the body lift and torsion crank you can run 33x12.50 tires without any troubles.
