Too many numbers....
LOL!
Coil spring spacers 'are' a suspension lift and add to the driveline
issues so nice try but...

I do understand what you are trying to accomplish...not the way I'd do
it, but I do understand. Yes, 32s would help. Too, be afraid of a shop
that would install a 3" body lift. OMG! Don't do that!
As far as your 2" spacer vs 2" spring lift question...if you can afford
the spring lift, go with that. If not, spacers will be fine for your use.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Twaldron --
Thanks. I am definitely NOT having a 3 inch body lift put on. Here
is what I have decided to do until I get more money together. I have
found both a 2 inch and a 3 inch suspension lift using the spacers
instead of springs. Here is my question --
Would I be better off putting on a 2 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch
body lift with 32 X 11.5 X 15s, or a 3 inch suspension lift and NO
body lift with the same size tires? Would this size tire look "under-
tired" with a 3 inch suspension lift, or would 33s look better? Do I
have to drop the t-case with a 3 inch coil spacer lift?
THANKS
