2'' lift options

I'm looking into a small lift for my '96. I want to clear 33's with some room for flex. I want a qualtiy lift, add-a-leaf in the rear, and good-riding coils up front. I also want to install it myself, and have never done that before, it shouldn't be problem, but any advice would be useful. This truck is my daily driver, but, it does get off the pavement, and when it does it hits some fairly challenging stuff, so I want a solid kit. Any suggestions? Of course price, the lower the better.

Tuff country makes a 2.5" I have theres on my bronco, i love it. I think Rough County makes a 2 or 2.5" but there stuff is kinda crapy, in my opinion. You could also go the leveling coil route, which is very cheap, i have a set of rough country leveling coils i can sell to ya cheap if you want. they are supposed to give 1.5" of lift in the front. Email me if you want um. (ive got pics on my super ford of the lift install)

I'm looking for a leveling coil setup up front, to clarify. Would prefer a susp lift. Want to keep it simple and get stuff that will hold up on the trail.
