Talking Body lift or coil spring spacers?

I just bought a 2010 Silverado and want to lift it up 2 in.or so but not so much where i'm having to change out stock parts,just for cosmetic reasons. Looking for least expensive and best way to go! Any suggestions? Thanks,John

I looked at the lift on my truck (bought it used with the lift) and it's five inch lift by using five inch steel spacers and bigger Ubolts. I figure they had to also replace the shocks to go this much. So you may have to buy all new shocks or find a spacer for them too, if there is such a thing.

I would also look at air shock systems you can get lift with them but I don't know if and when you would have to deal with the springs because it seems to me you would d be stretching them when you pumped up the shock.
