lift suggestions

hello all, i'm new to the forum world, so i will try and make my mistakes limited. i'm looking for advice/suggestions for the best lift option for my 2000 f250 7.3 ltr SD 4x4. i'm working with a experienced off-road mechanic, but he suggested i ask the ford experts. i'm not looking to jack it way up, just a few inches (story of my life), with some new solid suspension. i am planning on using BDS products. not looking to spend a fortune, but deffinitly want it done right. any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

welcome to fte...
i bought a cheap set of lift shackles from advance. its a 5.5 inch lift for the front. there was a set of 2 inch blocks in back when i got it.
they have been in the truck for about 6 months. they survived the interstate in louisana so i believe they will hold up to anything
