Can anyone help me get the right body lift kit?

Well I'm a noob when it comes to lifting a truck. I just want a 2-3inch body lift on my truck so I can throw some bigger tires on it. I don't know the difference between leveling kits and lifting kits. Spacers or full kits or anything like that.
Like what is the difference between this

Pretty simple, search it.. simply do more research and you'll discover it. You might want to spend your own time learning the differences to know what it is your looking for exactly and form/function effects afterwards. Search it. Body lift lifts the body off the frame, leveling kits level the truck, suspension systems raise your truck by lowering suspension componets thus creating lift

well I think I'm going to level it in the front and rear. I was told that is about the same as what the body lift would do.

But again it wont be level, you understand..? Leveling kit in front raises the front to level with rear, you then have a level sitting truck. If you then add lift height to the rear then your back to a rake stance but just a higher truck. So pick or choose which setup is what your looking for. Want it level and higher? Well then you would add a leveling kit to just the front to establish a level stance then add a body lift to sit the truck up higher altogether.

No one makes a 2 inch kit for the 04-08 trucks. Go with the 3 inch Performance Accessories kit.
