build your own body lift, its not that hard just find out what height, 1-3inch, you said about 2 so get some 2inch square tubing cut them about 6 inches and drill some holes, take all the body bolts out of one side (6, 3 on body and 3 on bed) and go get some more bolts 2 inches longer,2each for each side, lift it with a floor jack and place the square tubing inbetween the body and frame, put bolts in. after the truck is lifted you will need to extend your 4x4 lever 2 inches and extend your stick if your tranny is manual, take out your fan gaurd, or just cut it on the sides and extend it 2 inches, and raise your bumpers 2 inches. it is pretty simple i put a 3 inch body lift on myself and it took about 8 hours counting driving to town and buying bolts and ended up costing me about $5 after that i fit 35" tires easily, i could fit 37" but have an occasional rub. i think it was worth it but that is just my two cents
