Leveling 2wd front end?

Hey I just wanted to see if anyone knows the best way to put a 2" leveling kit or spacer on the front suspension. My truck is a 96 automatic 2wd and the front rides 2" below the rear. I don't tow a lot so I'm looking to just level it up. Just another silly project to **** my old lady off. Suggestions? Ease of project? Outcome? Thanks guys.

Were two now. I was actually looking for a lift for my 2wd, the only reasonable option for me is a body lift

I heard that but what size coil springs? I'm sure the original coil springs are a bit worn out anyhow.

Yea I heard the same because otherwise it'll screw with the front end too much. Body lift is a pretty big PITA though I'm not sure if it would be worth it for me. But who knows. I'll look into that! People say it's dumb unless you have a 4x4. I like the look, and it keeps that fat chicks away.

I have new coils and still looks weird its as tall as a stock F250 4x4 its either custom droped brakets and rear blocks, or body lift for me
Can we fit the SD 2" spacers with our coils? They almost look identical might buy some, if they dont fit ill just put them on my wifes Excursion

I know there's gotta be a spacer that fits the obs. Just not sure which one. It would be a helluva lot cheaper than a body lift for me.
