The body lift is nice if not for just being able to get in around the motor much easier to fix stuff and to change plugs. Look for rust around the two front body mounts. Plus you will need longer bolts probably. It's easier/harder than it looks.
I don't like helper/shocks at all but it's a thing around here...Personally I like better leaf springs but they are a bear to change and helper shocks (effectively struts) make it easy to swap. The downside is, if you are going to do a real suspension lift, they might work still? It's all trial and error.
some love the motorcycle soccer mom variant transfer case. I killed two of them and finally got a mechanical borg warner out of an older van and never looked back. I will probably either set my van on fire...but if I don't, I will go manual. I can always lock it in..and driving it in 4wd on wet pavement isn't the end of the world.
