Check out the Teraflex 2" coil lift. Ive heard nothing but good things and teraflex is phenominal. Old man emu too, I've heard they net a lot more than 2" though....

Taller coils with stock shocks will add some height, but will do nothing for down-travel. If you want the axle to droop further, get longer shocks. On the plus side, it will let you stuff the tires further up toward the flares before contacting, and you won't need to worry about over-compressing the shocks.
