Welcome. A search for 2" keys or 2" suspension lift should offer threads to read. Torsion bar keys is another phrase to search for.
Basically, it is not a good idea. It is cheap , but puts the CV joints at a severe angle and also moves the ball joints to a bad position. This causes premature failure in all but the least used service.
You can crank the stock keys up a little. Look to our website for information on how to do this.
The cheapest lift is a 2" bodylift. I do not know what is allowed in France. If it is acceptable that would be my recommendation. This too has information on our website.
