Default PLEASE HELP!... lift kit options.

Whats up guys,
I have a 2000 Jimmy 2dr, 2wd. I am in need of some new tires really bad andi want to go with a 2" body lift and a 2" suspension lift while i am at it. The problem is i cannot find any lift kits that will fit my 2000 jimmy! Could you guys please direct me in the right direction to a manufacturer that sells kits for 2wd, 2dr.... This combo will clear 32" tires right? Any input is greatly appreciated.
thanks

I'm surprised that you have not turned up any results for your truck...

Superlift makes a 2" suspension lift, however, it consists of torsion keys to jack up the front suspension which puts the control arms at steeper angles and can lead to premature wear on the ball joints which are problem prone for some.

i'm looking to do the same thing with my 2004 Blazer and found a 2" suspension lift from roughcountry.com that was recommended from these folks and doesn't put the wear and tear on the ball joints, as well they do have 2" body lifts for your year as well.

The rough country lift still doesn't do anything to alleviate the wear on the CV's from cranking your t-bars.

IMO, those "levelling kits" are a waste of money. Do a modest t-bar crank and install a set of shackles instead. You'll end up saving hundreds of dollars.

i found a kit for the 2000 4x4 on EBAY for 200 shipped that has rear shackles and torsion bar keys.
