Default Lift Kit Questions

First timer here. I have a few questions, Is a body lift the same as a spacer lift? and which lift is the easiest/cheapest to buy and install? I just want to be able to put 30" tires on ZJ.

No such thing as a body lift on a Grand Cherokee or a Cherokee, they don't have body on frame construction like an Explorer or 4Runner.

In looking into the same lift for my upcountry zj, a lot of people recommend a 2in bb(budget boost) and bilstein 2in lift shocks(u get what u pay for with shocks and these ones are kinda pricey and super stiff from what I have heard.) I'm new here so take what I say with a grain of salt and maybe another user and offer some more input.

Oh and from what I have been reading, you should be able to fit 30" tires no problem with proper bump stops and maybe a little trimming
