I want to lift my Tahoe about 2 inches but I'd like to spend under 1000 for it, if that's not possible does anyone know any good leveling kits

What he said, I went with Z71 springs and 2" spacers. Also do Bilsteins all the way around. All of it Do-able for $500-$600.
If I put the torsion bar keys on the front can I also add a spacer for a few extra inches or is it only the keys and also are you able to stack 2 spacers on top of each other to add more height?

Suspension keys,shocks ,shim your jounce bumpers in the front.
Moog Z71 coil springs, shocks and whatever size spacers you need for the look your going for..
Amazon has some really good prices on the rear lift items (Moog, Bilstein )...
I just did the front on my yukon xl ,keys, jounce bumpers, bilstein 5100's working up parts list for rear now...

I used the z71 jounce bumpers and am mounting these on the lower control arms to compensate for the lift.$_12.jpg

Photo of how I shimmed my jounce bumpers with leveling keys.
I have 8" between the top of the tire and wheelwell (265/75/16's)..with plenty of adjustment left in the keys.
