Only 2” of lift because I'll never need the 5” of lift, I don't really do any off-roading but I do use it around the property and daily driving. 2” of lift seems perfect for me, not too big but just enough. Also going to 32-33” tires I would need to re-gear to at least 4.56. With the 31” tires I would only need 4.10 and that would put me super close to the stock configuration meaning the speedo wouldn't be off and I wouldn't be under geared for towing. I can go to a junkyard today and get a 7.5 rear end with a LS and 4.10 gears (the 7.5 over the 8.8 because the 7.5 is cheaper and I won't need to get anything, it'll bolt in completely and I can re use most if not all hardware.) I did some deeper research today and I'll post some pictures later/tomorrow of what I found. I might have answered my own question.
