What size lift kit was needed? And any body lift?

I started with no lift of any kind. However, my biggest interference is exhaust to front drive shaft which I ran without one for a year so it was a non-issue at the time. When I got the front DS installed, I still ran it for a few months both on and off road and the exhaust slowly just self clearenced most of it. The engine placement was too far to the driver side so that was my fault on that.

With the exhaust figured out, the next interference is the crank pulley. The picture below shows what its like with under 2in bump stop extension. So with that said to maintain factory up travel, I would recommend a 2in lift. You could potentially raise the engine higher into the engine bay with a lower profile car intake and keep stock height with stock uptravel.
