Default 2" or 2.5"

I'm sure it's been beaten to death, but I'm about to order my leveling kit (Ready Lift), but don't know what option to choose, 2, 2.5, or maybe 3 inch?

EDIT: 2006 XLT 4x4 with stock FX4 18in wheels, hoping to run 305/65 tires.

I would go with the 2" on an '06 truck to avoid the Bulldog look.

Why readylift? You can get the Hell Bent Steel or Autospring kits that everyone on here has for like a third of the price.

Thanks for ALL of your help.

Just an FYI (as I didn't even know either): Got some tires yesterday, 305/65/18 BF All Terrain KO, thought they would rub like crazy "WITHOUT" a level kit. Turns out it doesn't rub at all, not even at full crank!
