Default Looking at picking up a new rig..what do you guys thing


$1000 bucks, 1998 limited with 150k on it. Just got a new transfer case replaced in it, and it runs and drives good. It was sideswiped, but did not get a salvage title. The body damage doesnt scare me, as my dad is a body man. He could pull it out pretty close, and I was figuring it would get trashed on a trail anyways. For around $2200 I could have it lifted 4.5 inches on 32's and soft 8's, and probably sell my 4 cylinder for around the same money. What do you guys think of this? Bad idea or good?
