Everyone has their favorites but no one has your budget except you.
If you're budget limited, Mag-Ride would be the best single option (IMHO)
Next up would be NPP (exhaust) but it's quite expensive for just 5 horsepower.
We don't know your area of driving so don't know about the need for front lift, but it may be more important that NPP
All the options that come with the 2LT make it a bargain, but again we don't know your budget constraints. I would pick those earlier 3 options ahead of 2LT if it's one or the other.
Z51 not needed if you're not going to track and it sound like you're not, so don't. (if they had the EDifferential as a separate option, that along with Mag Ride would be ideal)

OP, Do a little research and find out what "mag ride" actually does for you. It's not about making the ride softer or eliminating bumps. Well worth the $1,899 or whatever it is now.

This........,I did not get a single option....even got black to get the body color "options".......not one and have no regrets .... others make different choices depending on their needs or wants....I will always buy a used car if I can find what I want at a price I am willing to pay...
