Daystar makes all the way up to a 2.5". thats what i have on mine. since you got the 2wd your only real option for a level kit is the polyurethane spacer. Daystar is pretty good stuff. i havent seen much if any real complaints about their stuff.

2.5 would be about right for your truck in my opinion. Although his is a 4x4 nickaherns (spelling) truck looks just right with the tgc 2.5 kit.

I am thinking of doing the same - well, not thinking...I am going to do it. I was looking at Fat Bob's Garage, and they said if you go with 2", you should go with a new shock as well, as the stocker will be reaching it's limits for more than that. I may get their package with 2" spacers and two ProComp shocks.

I have a Daystar kit on mine and love it. Easy install, and no problems what so ever. I would definitely recommend buying a pair of extended shocks in the front after installing the kit.

When you buy the shocks just make sure you tell whoever you order from that you need extended shocks in the front because you have a <insert height here> leveling kit and they'll take care of you. The shocks aren't too much longer, just longer then oem.
