Default Best way to lift a ranger?

Ive got a 2006 4.0L 4wd. I want to give it at least 2inches of lift. My main focus is leveling it out. I don't want to break the bank, sacrifice ride quality, or increase wear and tear on the suspension. I do not want to put a crappy lift on it to save money either. If you understand what Im saying please help me out!

Not if you crank the torsion bars to level it

only suspension lift available for your ranger is Superlift which, with drive shaft, is about 2k. body lift is 150. torsion keys are awful unless you like replacing front end parts with a passion, ie cvs ball joints etc. save up for superlift or crank your bars a little bit to level, other than that you're SOL man just like the rest of us. LOL
