Default 2" lift

Looking to put a 2" leveling kit on an 2006 1500 4X4. Anyone have a preferred vendor to purchase this kit. I am also looking at the terra grapplers and wondering what size some of you are running with the lift.

thanks

Bilstein 5100 leveling struts. Kills 2 birds with one stone. As for tires 33s will look good with a level and 35s will look kinda stuffed

Thanks for advice on the Bilsteins. As for the lift are you recommending putting in the two in spacers? Forgive my ignorance, I know more about offshore fishing and boats, than trucks. Just looking for the best route. I have 75000 miles on the truck, so would the leveling shocks be the best way to go.

Thanks for the advice.

Weed is talking about a body lift which will lift the body off the frame to achieve a desired amount of lift. The only down side to a BL is that it doesn't level the truck so you will still have the rake in the truck. The leveling struts are good because not only will they lift the front end 2" they are new struts as well so you dont have to level it and then buy new struts, hence why I said kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
