the cheapest- tt+shackle (2 in lift)
since youre 2wd, spindle+tt+SOA rear (5 in lift)
these are proabbly the easiest options to go with!
then if you do SOA you can probably go to 33s no sweat, maybe maybe a small 35, but youll need some trimming, so lets say 33. since youre v6, you could get JY 4.10 axles (cheapest), but ideally 4.30 for the rear (best for a DD/highway use), or 4.56 for more a weekend warrior/trail rig

You missed the nothing crazy part LOL
But yeah TT & shackles. If your springs are good & can run 31's stock. Before adding bigger tires check what rear gear you have. It's going to suck if you have 3.27's.
