Welcome and post some photos so we can suggesthiw to spend your money lol.
Nice thing about the classic is there are plenty of available mods out there to spend money on since they are the same as the last gen. Can’t say that for the DT, but it is getting there:)

^^ I would measure center of wheel to fenders on all 4 corners. That will assist on what inch level you need. Then decide on how much you want to push front up. What’s your taste. Just a little more, to fronts higher then rear.
I have found that Top strut spacers are true to amount of level they say. Atleast for motofab, in my personal experience. Regardless of top spacer companies reading and searching, all is way easy to install and super close to right on lift they say it gives.
Hope that helps ya

Thanks nails, I'm nervous on the spacer thing I read that it could cause possible premature wearing of front and components , some say I should change the upper control arms , I only want to go a bit no more than two inch, your thoughts?

No more then 2inch with ORP. 2.5inch on regular suspension. Or ucas will be wanted. The main component with a level that will be taking the main abuse will be the upper bjs. And that really only cause the angle change if you stay with factory ones.

I did 2 on my ORP truck. Measurements show 2in lift. My upper isn’t at a horrible angle. If I did another 1/2 I’d be little worried. Though ucas are on the list for replacement down the line.

Oh ok so a 2" lift with spacers should be ok on regular suspension. No premature wear, ?

Yup, and it should actually look level . Even though measures are still a rake there. Specially if you tow, don’t want the front way above the rear. Here’s picks of mine. With a 1” rake on it measurement wise. Pretty much looks legit level 2092CA25-D09B-4B98-8E7E-79F58AB85B97.jpeg E5BD36FC-3F92-4D00-A405-FB795B7CC669.jpeg
