2 inch blocks in the back and springs up front will get it done for super cheap.

Re: I want to add 2" of lift
You will not make any adjustments to the steering box. If anything you will just need to get a longer pitman arm. a 2 inch lift will consist of 2 inch blocks in the back, u bolts, hardware, springs for the front, longer pitman arm (if needed).. oh yeah and brake lines and shocks maybe. You could probably get away without lowering the transfer case and not lengthening your driveline with a 2".

You can install a lift on these trucks in 8 hours if you have big jack stands, a breaker bar, and a torch.

Re: I want to add 2" of lift
If its a 4x4 skyjacker makes a 2.5 inch lift kit.One thing i would add is a steering box brace the 4x4 trucks are known for cracking the frame around the steering box bolts.
