Falco has a post somewhere about re-arcing the rear leaf springs an inch and adjusting the front torsion bars to match.

Personally I would add a leaf, or blocks (perfectly fine in the back axle for 1"), or air bags, or shackles

Airbags are my favorite (on the list for my van (actually on the work bench)

before I would re-arch (most re-arch springs have settled back down pretty fast)

It will depend on what you have right now

Subframe spacers
Balljoint spacer
Rear shackle/leak pack
Single or double cardon joint on driveshaft
Blocks under leaf packs with degree shims
Transfer case spacer

Need the measurements of these to help you out

Going past 2" requires a lot of mods and puts additional stress on the front end suspension

Felix went through this recently while driving through the US.
