I recommend 245/75 tires instead of 265/75. You wont have to trim anything with the 245/75

I'm not looking to spend that much for shocks, so what else is there? How do I know what to get?

Shocks are recommended, but not required for a 2" BB lift. I am currently running a BB with stock shocks and it's really not that bad. I will buy some nice shocks when I run a bigger lift.

I've got stock shocks on BB. Rides like it. Its not bad at all, but on washboard gravel roads they are horrible. On pavement it's a decent ride.
