They make a 2inch leveling kit and a 3inch suspension. I would go with the 3inch suspension and the 3inch body with some 35's. I think they will fit. Don't know much about 2wd.

Yes, you can combine the two lifts. The suspension lift is probably lift coils or coilspring spacers. I believe the limit with lift coils or spacers is 2 or 2.5 inches. If you go higher than that you have to have new, longer upper control arms to get the alignment withing specs.

A 3 inch body lift and 2 inch lift coils will give you 5 inches of lift. A 3 inch body lift and 2 inch coilspring spacers will also give you 5 inches of lift. They will not affect your performance, but the larger tires you install after the lift will. How much depends on your powertrain.
