I'd go for a combination of a smaller body lift (~1" or so) to allow for that little bit of extra clearance and then go all spring. From there, run a set of ez rates if you really do need an extra inch after all is said and done.

i like a small gap between frame and bed thatd be nice easy to clean out underneath but i dont think lift springs will like the bed camper things heavy and stands 12ft in the air lol so she sways and that means the camper is only setting on a few points rather than the whole frame so im torn on what to do
i thought about a quick disconect bag setup but still pondering ideas spring shop said i should stay stock springs maybe just upgrade to 1 tons and keep the lift blocks but i dont want to lose height i like the stance my truck just has to many purposes

You could easily go all spring, would just depend upon what spring rate you get.

Do you know about how much the camper weighs?

Used to have one in my truck. Stock spring pack, but added leaves and a 1" block to make an 8-leaf spring pack. She sat level at that point with the camper full of gear (queen bed, stove, propane tanks, refrigerator, etc).

The taller lift with the camper will make her more prone to wandering due to the wind and high center of gravity, but we knew that already, eh?

I'd suggest majority, if not all, spring lift. Drop the body lift down to a 1" (bed is only supported on the frame in a few places anyway) to lower that center of gravity. From there, if you have sagging, either add a couple leaves to increase the spring pack rate or add bags.

With taller flexible springs, i'd recommend adding a ladder bar or two to stop any axle wrap you may have.

I've got the four inch suspension with a three inch body. Plenty of room for flex, but I am considering 37's

The shorty is so beautiful it hurts my eyes, if that makes sense. Maybe if it was in my driveway my eyeballs wouldn't ache so bad.

I don't think we have pics of that combo, but I don't think 2in lift would look bad at all with 31's. I'm with you though, I do intend to have 2 4x4 Squares. 1 is going to be very close to stock height and tire size. BF Goodrich does make a 33 x 10:50 tire that I intend to use on my 4x4 that I'll use more for street driving and bad weather. I don't want to hurt the mpg to bad, so keeping a narrower tire will help reduce road friction and drag, but yet give me a little more lift that I want. If I was to go with a 12.50 wide tire, I'd just step up to a 35in tire, but I think I'm going to save that tire size more for the fun 4x4 I hope to have in a K5 or a Burb with a 4-6 inch lift.

But to answer your question, I think a 2in lift with 31's would still look good. Probably very similar to a 4in lift with 33's. A 4in lift would probably make them look small, so I wouldn't go any more than 2in lift using a 31x10:50..

My 2wd c10 has 31x10.50x15s at stock ride height

I wish everyone would be descriptive as your post. What type and brand of lift and the actual tire size.

Seems most will say like 6in on 37's. Now that could be 4in suspension, 2in body lift and might be 15, 16, 16.5 or 17 in rims.
