Personally I'd do a two inch body lift and put some 30's or 31's on it.
I did a 2" spring lift in my coily and it was a horrible ride. So hard.
That was a exspensive kit recommended by a Suzuki workshop, I'd hate to think how the cheap kits ride.

You can get some good lift kits off ebay for $600 to $1000... just ask, and make sure you get the right spring/load rate for your zook, otherwise it will be too soft, or too stiff... take accessories into account, and any bar work...

it shouldnt no. if it does very lightly.
BUT if youre going with 31's do you have reduction gears? otherwise dont bother.

I had 30 mm kings and ultima shocks on my coily and it rode nice and could hold up some camping gear
I just cut my guards to run 31 and put in a wt tc with 4.1
It was very stable and out drove a lot of bigger cars because it could take lines that were on stupid angles with out feeling tippy
Wat I lacked in traction I made up with right boot which is bad but worked and never busted any cv or axels
Watch the panhard rods they bend so easy
And never put in nylong bushes the arms bend before the bush does
