i've NEVER head of a lift that chevy produces for the nnbs or any other body style. the only truck i've known they've sold lifted were the ZR2's. and even with them chevy sold the truck as a package not the lift.

I think I remember some of the dealers around here installing RCD lift kits...that's the only dealer installed lift that I've ever seen.

It's just a regular kit that that dealer has put on their trucks. They don't neccessarily go with a certain kit. There are a couple at the local dealer that have fabtech lifts installed.

any lift for a 4wd will work for a 2wd you will just have extra parts.

Every dealer will use different lifts based on what shop they use to do all their dealership work. Each dealer has a certain shop that they take all their business to for lifts, lowering, tires & wheels, and grilles. The common lifts they use for dealership work is the basic lifts, Fabtech, Full Traction, RCD, Procomp, and Rancho. Odds are it's one of those 5 because they offer lifts in the 4"-6" range and a dealer wont touch anything over 6" (with the exception of some F250's here in town with an 8" lift). Good luck!
