I just bought a black 2004 Nissan Frontier KC XE 2WD and I was wondering what I should do to raise the body of the truck higher, if possible I would like it 4-6 inches higher should I look into lifts or are there bigger tire sizes for me to do this. This is my first car so I am unsure of what to do. Thanks for any help!

You might want to consider a lift and slightly larger tires. I wouldn't recommend a body lift. Check out www.4x4parts.com . There might be a lift on this site that isn't too costly.

Since this is your first vehicle, I wouldn't suggest raising and putting too big of a tire on.  It'll effect your gas mileage, and next thing you know you'll be questioning taking it out because you'll have to put gas in.

Since you want 4-6 inches, definitely suspension lift.  Body lift will give a horrible stilt effect, and you'll be swaying before you know it.

I think a mild lift with slightly larger tires will do just fine.  You won't get your 4-6 inches, but it'll look aggressive.

Another reason to stay away from body lifts is because they have a tendency to lower the resale value.
