I'm sure people will chime in and say don't lift a 2wd truck but hey, different strokes for different folks.
Shocks won't do it, The cheapest solution would be a body lift. I would say you probably need a 3 inch body lift. Even then you may not be high enough. Suspention lift would be next but I don't know what kind of options are out there for 2wd's.
