best option for a 2" lift?

[Pender1]

Not sure if you have any experience with Tuff Country springs and shocks but they are some of the best for aftermarket out there. WIth the exception of going custom or super high end

I've heard good things about TC, but don't really know them from anything else.

The newest best deal I've found:$602+$73 shipping, after black friday discounts

All you really need are 4 springs. It is twice as cheap to get your local spring shop to bend up a set of bolts for you.

You can replace your front brake hoses with 2wd hoses, they are a little longer and would work great with a small lift. And if the rear springs are still in decent shape, I wouldn't be afraid to just add in an extra leaf (not an add-a-leaf) as well as a 2-3 inch cast block.

Not too shabby, you could use just your first link as it does include blocks for the rear. Im not a fan of blocks but at 2 inches its no biggie. Can always fab up your own trac bar down the road if it worries you

Ya that's a good idea. It comes with new shocks too. Which are always an upgrade over OEM. And then you have everything you need except for the spring bolts which they sell in a pack of 4 for $7.95 at the bottom of that page. You need 6 with using blocks in the back otherwise you would need 12

One stop shopping is always nice!

Also that alleviates the need to dismantle the rear springs from the frame as that is a real pain in the ass! As you will most likely have to sawzall every bolt twice(once each side of the spring) So 12 times in all and its tuff to do at the shackle with out messing up the shackles. It can be done. Its just a royal pain in the ass!

The front springs you still probably will have to swazall both sides of each spring bolt in the front(4 times in all) but they are easy to get at and the Shackle bolt that goes through the frame usually comes out pretty easily.

There not cheap but I would recommend greasable spring bolts
