3rd Gen 2" - 3" Lift suggestions

Picking up my OR next week and super stoked! I have been reading through the interweb and it seems that the more intel I get, the more confusing it gets over different options. I'm not looking to break the bank since this, at least until it's paid off, is going to be a pavement princess. I would like to stay close to factory ride while still giving it about 2-3 more inches. Basically, so it doesn't look like a 2x4. I could go with the dealer installed lift, which seems overpriced or something like this: https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/rough...t-with-n3-shocks-74531/_/R-DHTP-74531#qstnAns

Anyone have some insights on this kit or can suggest something better around the same price point?

 

Adding that Rough Country suspension would be a downgrade. Enjoy the truck as is, first. IMHO

 

2 downgrades actually Junk Country for one, and 4 Wheel Parts for two.

 

Bilstein 5100 or 6112/5160 combo are the go to without breaking the bank, do some reading.

 

There are lifted 2x4’s too. Just saying.
