Because of the body studs, I think you are going to have to
just do a 2" lift, sorry, an extra half inch shouldn't cause too
much trouble

take a look at the bushing arrangement at the body mounts.
i put a thin one on the bottom and shimmed in top. gained 1 1/8".
i used some old conveyor belt material- looks similar to tire sidewall or something like that.
still had to do some hammering to the rear of the front well and cut/bend to fit.
rear was some curling of that outer edge. curl up inside- no change form original line- my tires clear well enough.
i have pic i could post later.
even stacked some shim on the frames for those non bolted ones, lowered body down on 'em. haven't lost 'em yet.
works for me- cheap and functional.
also, i had to lower the front drive side brakeline mount in the fender. just slotted well, lower that mount/clip, rivit. done without removing brake line.
