Default looking for a way to lift my 06 raider durocross

i wanna lift just the front about maybe 3-4 inches. anybody know what i can do to do it without having to buy a whole lift kit and i dont wanna take it to a shop and get charged 2 grand. got in a accident and had to take the front bumper off and now it looks more prerunnerish so im just gonna go with it and weld my own bumper on it and lift the front. just looking for a solution to the front suspension. p.s. would i need a suspension lift or a body lift? its gonna be mainly for looks. dont get to go offroading as often as i would like due to gas prices.

There's a reason why it costs two grand.

Body lift. It should get you the extra height to clear larger tires. There are some drawbacks from doing this and I wouldn't recommend going 3" but it's a better solution than cranking the torsion bars and you are already addressing one of the primary things to fix when doing a body lift (bumper)

if you want a car that looks like you do fun stuff that you dont, buy one. It'll be cheaper.
Youll also get hella body roll and ****ty steering, for your efforts.
