Lightbulb body lifts

Wondering if theirs any way i can put a body lift of 1''-2''.All i see to buy is 3''.I'm putting FORD keys in it,and leaf in the back.I don't want the 3'' i find you see to much of the frame.Is there any way i can do this? I'm hoping i won't need to mess with the linkage or steering.(with 1''-2'' lift)(01 ecsb 4x4GMC)THANKS FOR ANY INPUT.

With the Ford keys, add-a-leaf, and a 2" body lift you're looking at just under 4" of total lift. You MAY need to extend your brake lines and maybe add a spacer to the steering column. Have you looked in Summit, Jegs, etc. for the the body lift kits?
