just go 2". youll never know you are missing an inch. trust me.

also hand tools and your stock bottle jack is all you need to do this job. and a set of stands.

4 hours later you should be done and not all too greasy or dirty. its a pretty cake job

 

Looks like I'm going 2 inch, with goofy small tires for another 5K miles or so!
