Spring v Body lift - RR

Who is driving there Rangie with just a spring lift? It seems that body lifts are most popular (I guess the keep centre of gravity lower) but a spring lift I would have thought would be a lot easier & cheaper.
Will I fit 34" tyres on a 84 Rangie with just a 2" spring lift & some guard chopping?
Thanks,
Adam

I reckon once you take into account all the costs involved in a spring lift above say 2-3 inches, a body lift will be cheaper and easier.

I run 35" x 12.5 BFG's on 7" rims with only 2" spring lift on an 1984 4 door.
Minimal rubbing. Lots of chopping. Pics in Post up your rovers thread

Ok, thanks Maggott, I guess I can only try. This vehicle will only be for offroad so I don't mind some heavy chopping.

Is there any other changes necessary with a 2" spring lift. If not then I would have thought this would be a fair bit cheaper as I would be changing all shocks no matter what I do and springs are very cheap.
