Most 2" lifts will be good for @ 1.5 inches.

I'd do a search for "lift kits" for most generic questions on the subject

Yes, the belly pan will be raised. The only way to get the rear axle raised is to go with bigger tires

first of all, don't measure clearance at the floorboards. measure under the front skid plate, and under the rear diff...you'll get about 1.5 inches up front, and zero in the rear.
