Lift front end 3 inches

hey guys I have a 4x4 and I want to lift the front end 3 inches or at least level it with the rear what's needed to do that? Is it just larger Springs?

F100/F150 or bigger?

Taller springs... JBG offers a "leveling kit" for half-tonners.

I'm not sure if I should just get the springs to level it or Springs to lift front 4 inches and give it that prerunner look

Yes I've been on the site. I'm looking at the springs that are 1_2 inch above stock but I think a 2_3 inch would look better. What do you think

You want taller? Put a little more air in the tires!

I'm going to go with the 4 inch higher than stock springs from Bronco graveyard. I put a jack under the truck and jacket it up until it was 4 inches higher than it is already and it looks pretty good. With the 4 inch springs the front end is about an inch higher than the back and if I wanted a little lower I can always cut a little spring off. but if I get the springs that are only 1 to 2 inches higher than stock according to my measurements it still won't be level and I have no room to cut the springs.
