Default Opinions needed on leveling my suburban

So I got new knobbier tires and they look great until I get far away and I notice the height difference between the rear and the front. (I know Chevy obviously did this for aero reasons). But sense I am a broke high school student that just works at a Burger King I can’t really afford a good quality leveling kit. The opinions that I need opinions on are, 1) should I use the stock keys and lift to a desired height and re-align the burb in shop class at school and leave the shock absorber mounting point stock. 2) do everything above except buy a good quality shock absorber mount extender. 3) should I do anything else that I have not mentioned please let me know!!

thanks!!!!

no idea the model year but you can turn up factory torsion bars about 1" without sacrificing ride quality. 2" it gets harsh.
