If your bars are already cranked up giving you one to two inches of lift then a kit like that or similar my only give you another inch. That may work for your AV, there's only one way to find out. Your 2wd so it may work fine you don't have axle shafts..
As far as shocks I would go with Bilstein 5100, like many on this site have, IMHO the best all around shock for on/off road.
Maybe someone with a 1500 that has done this can jump in...
Good luck
