new guy here

hello my name is anton i just want to introduce myself. i am from concord ca and have a 2004 ford f250 6.0 v8 2wd that i have owned now for over 2 years and i must say i love this thing like i love my kids but i have a few questions about it. I put the 2 inch leveling kit on it and am kinda not happy with it, it did not level the truck like i expected it still sits about 2 inches lower then the back and i am measuring from wheel well both front and back i was just wondering before i go spend the money on new springs and shocks. will changing the springs and shocks, which are stock fix my sagging issue?
or do you guys have any other suggestions. p,s i bought the kit from e-bay

Hi Anton, welcome to FTE!

Secondly, it would be easier for us to help you if you gave us more details about the leveling kit you bought. Brand? Model?

i am thinking of buying the daystar shocks both front and back and new coil springs would this fix my sagging in the front i need to make up for 2 inches of sag..

the shocks and springs are the original ones but i want to ask the pro's before i go spend the money on new springs and shocks and make sure this will bring it up 2 inches

the coil spacers i have are the daystar 2 inch leveling blocks that go under the coil springs.
