If you are only looking for 2" then check this out:

Save yourself some money and get the personal pride and satisfaction of building it yourself. Plus it saves you a bunch of cash for stuff that you'll need at 2" of lift. Like skid plates. Or a nice set of 31" tires!

it's not a bad idea to replace 14 year old shocks, but they are not cheap. and if your leafs are collapsed, or near collapsed, add-a-leaf will not do too much good.
