Default RRO 4.5” vs. Calmini 3”+body lift. Advice needed.

How would you compare the two lifts on & off-road and what tire sizes would you recommend?
I just bought a clean stock '93 Tracker 8V conv. 5spd w/145K that wants to grow taller.
It will be a daily driver but my commute is only 1300 miles/year. I’m thinking of at least 31’s x ??width on 15x8 w/2” backspacing. I figure a mudtire will dry-rot before I get 20k miles on them.
I've seen favorable reviews for both lifts.
Thanks

i would go with the 3in calmin supension lift just for ride quality body lifts tend to ride sloppy and the probelm with the rro 4.5 inch lift 3 inches of it is body lift and your ride will deff be sloppier

hope this helped

I've never heard of body lifts causing the truck to ride sloppy.

Do you know what would cause that?

I have '91 w/ 2" spring spacers and 2" body lift and it rides same as stock.
