Hello. I have a 97 expy with nothing done to it. I want to do some work on it and have a couple questions. I want to put a lift on it, but dont want to dump a bunch of money into it. I am thinking about putting a 3in body lift with either some 33s or 35s. Do you think this is a good idea. And if i do lift it should i take out the rear air bags and put in some springs and how big. Thanks

Welcome 3" body is cheap and you don't have to replace the rear springs.

No need to change the bags now, but you will be replacing them eventually.

welcome... on stock rims 285/75 fit without the body lift... but the most common lift setup members run is a 3" body lift, 2" or 3" coil spacer in the rear and cranked torsion bars and then 35s... but if your bags are good I would wait but if you are gonna do the conversion to springs then it would be the time to order a spacer from ebay cheap and install it with the new coils since the coils will already be out.... just my .02...lol... you will learn a lot here
