Answer
There are a number of ways of 'lifting' a truck.  You can do a body lift, not 2' though, a suspension lift, or just rims and tires, again not 2'.  In order to gain 24" you will have to replace nearly the entire suspension.  Your best bet is to contact a performance shop of search on-line for kits to fit what ever truck you are considering lifting.
Hope this helps a little.
