You have coil springs front and leaf springs rear. A cheap lift is a coil spring spacer and an add a leaf or you could add other vehicle leaf springs to your stock pack which is commonly known as a Bastard Pack.

he probably thinks sway bars. with ifs rigs, you can get a couple inches by cranking on the torsion bars. not very safe tho, and makes for a rough ride.

but yeah, grab some coil spacers and rear shackles to get your couple inches.
