trying to learn about lift kits

I want to do about two inches, and I'm wondering what my options are. Whats the best, and what's acceptable on a budget?
are these any good?
Amazon Amazon

i realize those are just for the front, but I mean if i got that type of thing for back and front, to make it level. is that a good product/method of lifting

I'm new to all of this. I have 33 inch tires on my truck right now, will i have to upgrade tire size to make it look good with a 2 inch lift? Does anyone have any pics of a 2004 or 05 with a 2 inch leveling kit and 33 inch tires? Would love to take my truck to the next step and make it look a little taller and beefier.

thanks!

The leveling kit is only for the front, and makes the truck sit level front to back. You don't touch the rear at all to level the truck. I leveled mine with a 2" kit from Hell Bent Steel. They were about $80 for the steel one. But I haven't done anything to go bigger on tire, my truck has 265/70/17 on it right now, and they still have lots of life, so not going to change those yet.
If you put that kit in the front, and added blocks in the back, you'd still end up with the nose down factory look.

i went with the 2" Auto Spring leveling kit with 275/70/18 (close to a 33x10.50) tires and it looks like it could have (should have) come that way from the factory in my opinion. still sits nice with the boat hooked up too.
