Default 2" body lift question

I notice most people on here go with a 3" body lift. I'm only wanting a 2" body lift, 1" would be even better, but those are impossible to find unless using hockey pucks. But then bumpers don't align properly.

So my question is, where is the best place to find a 2" body lift with bumper relocation brackets.

This question comes up from time to time and I don't think I've seen anyone come up with anyone making a 2" body lift for 3rd gens to date...

If you want a really small lift do like a 1'' leveling kit.

Yea, I was thinking maybe a level kit and if he wanted the back up too, he could do a 1" or 2" block back there...

If it's a 2wd, this is pretty stupid in my opinion, but could acheive the lift you want. Take the leveling kit out. Put a 2'' drop shackle on the rear and then the 3'' body lift. You get a 3''/1'' lift.

Oh man, why'd you have to go and do that! Big pet peeve alert!

A 2x4 is a piece of wood! 2 Wheel Drive trucks are 4x2's!

Sorry, but that has always just been like fingernails on a chalkboard to me...

Oh yeah, and I was thinking, there is probably no reason you couldn't get the 3" kit and cut the poly blocks down an inch with either a band saw or a table saw...

understandably so, and terminology might have been wrong. but you knew the idea.

the cutting the blocks down idea would work great, with the exception of the bumper relocation brackets...
