Looking for lift

I want to get a suspension lift, a small one, 2-3 inches is pretty much all i want.
Yes i know i can get a body lift in that size but i may later want to get a brushguard and have no interest in dealing with fabbing brackets(unless you know where i can get some prefabbed ones)

suggestions are also welcome.

here are the lifts i am considering

2" (not keen on the torsion key thing)

3"
cant find one, all i see are 4.5" for like a grand, not wanting to spend that much.

Torsion bar adjustment keys have to be the biggest rip off in the history of suspension mods. All they do is allow you to put more preload on the torsion bars than you can with the OEM keys, which is a bad thing. To much preload will destroy your ride quality and shorten the life of your CV and ball joints. Save your money and crank up your torsion bars with the oem keys. Every truck is set differently but most people can get 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. If you want to lift the rear a little, just replace the oem 2 inch lift block with a taller one.
