I have a 3500 single rear wheel and was wondering if there's anyway to do a slight lift maybe around 1 inch and also gain about 1 inch of suspension travel without losing A lot of payload capacity.

Most off-the-shelf lift kits do not increase suspension travel

Thank you in advance

Only way you’ll get more travel is new springs. With most, you also lose capacity.

That’s their whole concept - to be able to tow to where you are going and then use your truck as a toy. A set of bags may help. I would call them and tell them what you are looking to do and see what their thoughts are. Cjc off road in souther California does a lot of HD trucks - reach out to them as well and see what their opinion is.
