How to Lift About 2"

So, I got the 31x10.5 BFG All Terrain TA’s installed today and they look good. But looking at the truck now, it could use a little lift. I’m just wondering how to go about getting a 2” lift on the truck – the most affordable option. This is not a 4wd, so I do not want to go nuts changing out front end parts, but I think 2” if possible would be nice.

The truck already has a slight lift, with the “heavy-half” suspension – 7-ply leaf springs, heavier front coils – I swapped in a few years back. So to get a little more, I’m thinking of blocks and longer u-bolts in the back, but what happens in the front? Do I go with even bigger springs, or do I need different spindles (obviously more expensive).

So what’s the best solution and where is the best (most affordable) place to get parts?

Any suggestions would be great – thanks!
