Question 1 1/2" or 2" lift??

Okay, so I've done my research, and shopped around, but its still not real clear to me which one I should go with. I want to level my truck, but I'm not sure which one to go with, a 1 1/2" or 2" spacer.

Can someone provide some clarity for me and let me know which is the appropriate one? I have a 2007 QC 2WD. An depending on where you look, I may or may not need longer shocks. Which is it?

Thanks!

it takes about 2.25" to perfectly level the truck, so I'd go with the 2's... Also, RH has a good point, the little bit extra the kits with shock relocation brackets cost is just a fraction of the cost of new shocks...

You guys rock! I knew I could on the forum for guidance, lol!

I didn't even think of the relocation brackets, thanks ramhunter! That would save me a few bucks! Although, all I can find are brackets for 4x4s, can I use these for my 2wd?? Can you recommend a place or product?
