Donkey Question

What would be the easiest way to lift my truck 2-3 inches?

I know nothing about suspension at all. And I don't have any idea about how to even look for something that could be wrong with my suspension, any tips or good sources for identifying specific parts? My wrenching buddy has moved(hes a mechanic im a networking technician for an ISP) and I have been doing things here and there but only the things i know or have a good source of info on.

Thanks guys for your help.

probably add a leafs. if your only looking for 2". body lifts are not easy to do alone and suspension lifts will usually put you up higher. 4"+
