I like the Rocky Road BB. Its 2.25". I have 31's on it. 32's might take some coaxing.
approximately $400 installed. maybe less.
You could also go with the RK 3.5" lift its not much more money.

17" are the smallest you can fit on the WK. Your friend's alloys are definitely 17".
With a 2" lift you can run 265/70-17 tires which are 31.60 in" Tall and 10.43" wide. To run this tire you'll either need new wheels with better backspacing or if you chose to keep the stock wheels you'll need some wheel spacers.

I'm running 32's on mine with a set of soft 8's and they are great. i also have the RR 2.25" lift, though I'm now wanting more lift. i may experiment with adding the RK kit to the RR kit like another member has for more lift.
and x2 on the 17" wheels thing, nothing smaller will fit unfortunately due to the big brakes, yes even on the 3.7's. we have the same brakes as everyone else except for the SRT8's which are bigger.
