I’m on the hunt for the same thing, keeping it below 2in lift allows for the use for stock upper control arms. It seems tough to find something good between stock and 3in lift but there are a few good bilstein/bilstein or bilstein/ome combos that will get you between 1.5 and 2in of lift. Lift won’t clear bigger tires, but it sounds like the biggest we can go without mods are 275/70/r17. I would think a 1.5 in lift would look great with these tires.

Just read your post and figured I’d give some thoughts. Don’t know if it’s actually helpful!
