I just installed some 2 inch rear drop shacles....it closed up the massive gap between tire and fenderwell, but could probably use another 1 to 2 inches to get completly level. I have some pics if I can get a chance to post them.

I had the 2 inch coil spacers on my truck for about year and a half.
It now has a 6 inch lift.
Here it is with 2 inch coils spacers and 31" tires.
Here it is with 2 inch coil spacers with 33" tires.
Here is a picture from the craigslist ad when I got it 2 years ago.
With no lift and 31" tires.

No. If you are just leveling it out, you will need the coil spacers and adjustable
chamber bushings. Like the ones below.
2 inch Front Poly Lift Spacers, Black
Adjustable Alignment Bushings Pair

Yes the tire shop should be able to get them and install them. When I did
my truck I put the adjustable chamber bushings in my self to save money.
Then I took it to the alignment shop to get a alignment. I would ask the shop you are going to use, how much they are going to charge you for the chamber bushings and labor to put them in.

I got the lift from craigslist for $190. The guy said it was a 6 inch Trailmaster with rear leaf springs that cost $1200, but I do not think it is. It looks like a rough country. I felt stupid when I put the leaf springs on the rear and find out when I lowered the truck off the jacks, it was the same height as before. So I got some lift blocks for the rear. If I know what I know now I would of bought a new lift kit.
I got around $1000 in the lift because of all the bolts, nuts, leaf spring bushings, shocks, pitman arm, brake lines and so on.
You can get Rough Country lift kit off of ebay for $500 plus around $70 for shipping. It looks like it has almost everthing but extended brake lines and adjustable camber bushings for the alignment.
