Get a leveling kit with a add-a-leaf or shackle in the rear this will give you the 2" you're wanting and replace the torsion bar keys for a set of forged.. this all comes in your basic leveling kit. And think about not using any type of spacer.. See if you can find a wheel with the offset you're looking for.. much safer. 1/2" is not much on a truck. a sports car is different. You'll have to replace your studs to extent thru the spacers and then worry about them loosening up while you're out wheelin'. If you used a larger spacer you not have to replace the studs but then again its even worse..

Find some awesome wheels you like, much safer and a better overall look.
