2-2.5” would be a good balance unless you actually NEED the ground clearance and off-road. 1.75-2” if it’s a street truck. Too high and you need control arms for caster/alignment.
I would rather just stick with something like a 5100, it’s a good option for most who want a basic lift. That said, I really do love my 6112.
None of this will do anything for your tire offset/backspacing. You either need different rims or spacers if you want to increase track width.

Agree with all the above.
Depends on the reason you're lifting. If your primary concern is wanting a wider stance then you need different wheel rims or a spacer, however, that is going to change the geometry of your suspension and you'll likely rub the fender with turning and hence that is why people lift.
If you just want a lift for cosmetics a body lift is a fine, cheap option
If you're off roading or struts/ shocks are due to be replaced bilstein 5100 and Dobinsons are economical/ solid and go to options for many on here.
Good luck
