welcome to the forum,
two easy way to lift the rear: get air shocks for an adustable ride, or Nissan Pathfinder rear springs with firbird (longer) rear shocks.
front eaisest way is to shim down the top of the strut mount. I would not recommend 2" in front, you will damage your cv axles at that angle and damage the upper seal on the strut (so it will cost you a lot in repairs). keep it at about 1" or 1.5" max, and than get a taller wheel and tire, but you might have to clearance out the fender and fender well.
