Lift Kit options for a 2003 1500 with 170k miles

[Xplane_Urself]

As the title states, I'm starting to research some lift kit options for an old 2003 Bow-Tie. It's an extended cab stock z71 off road package with brand new BFG 265/75r16 tires. What I'm attempting to get out of this forum is discussion from owners of similar models that have gone this route and can give me some personal experiences. There are many options for lifts, but my preference is to lift no more than 4" and most ideally, just a 2" or 3" lift. I don't really want a leveling kit, but am open to suggestions from all areas. If I were to rank my vehicle knowledge, I would place myself as a 4/10.

 

Possible lift options

• Zone 2" lift
• Rough Country Leveling Kit

I'd also like an explanation on torsion keys vs suspension lifts (I don't plan on doing a suspension lift) so that I have a better understanding of what to expect to be careful with. I know torsion keys are going to extend the depth of the suspension and cause the shocks to not be able to travel as far, but I'd accept a rougher ride as a sacrifice for running bigger tires and having higher clearance.

 

Here are some pictures of the truck I've bought (no I didn't pay the sticker price).

 

Thanks guys

NONE is my suggestion

Both of those kits are just using reindexed keys to adjust the front height. Your stock keys will do the same thing, but won't go as far; you really probably don't want to go any farther than the stock keys will allow unless you're going to get a set of UCAs to correct your suspension angles anyway.
