Ah ha, I have been asking this same question everywhere.

You can do a 4" suspension lift and you can run them, or 2" body and 2" suspension.

Persoanlly I am not overly found of bodylift on cruisers so I will be adding a 4" suspension lift and running 36 pedes.

You will scrub not matter what on full compression.

Anything more then 4-5" suspension lift, you should flip the arms and put in high steer $$$$

2" body lift and 3" coils on my 80 - and ran 37's and they never scrubbed!

Body lift keeps COG low with the big weighty items like motor/box/chassis - and creates space to get inunder the car to do things!!

I have mates with 5" coils.. blah blah - still having castor issues, brake line issues etc....

Your choice but overall in 5 years - I'm damn happy with my setup - touch wood havn't rolled it yet but still tryin!!
