Coil spacers is the easiest way to get 2".
For 3" you can buy a 3" coil and swap you front coils to the rear. Its called a f>r swap I believe. You'll need longer shocks but you'd be able to run 31's with minor trimming

im runnign a 3 in front with F>R swap, stock shocks, and ran 31s with no trimming, also ran 33s with a little rubbing on full lock i had to throw on a set of extended LCA to get rid of DW tho..

prior to pulling the bumper off is when i ran 33s with little rubbing

i still had a little more flex i could have forced in there but had been beating on her all day long and didnt wanna break anything after a long day of wheeling



mine has the hood up
