leveing kit

I have a 1994 2wd shortbed truck, and i was wanting to put a leveing kit on the front, but i've beed told it is a pain to do it on the tib front end. I also been told the i guess you could put it the cheaper way such f250 front coil springs, and those cheap twist in block deals you can get from just about any part store now. I dont want to go to extream since i do tow with it sometimes and i already have a sqautting problem in the rear, but i do want to look better the way it sits now. I have priced the skyjackers springs and stuff to do it the right way, but i got to looking on ebay and you can buy a spacer if you will that sits at the bottom of the spring. Witch would be better?? And another thing since i said something about it, i have a sqautting issue when i put a load on it, what can i do for that??

Get some factory f250 coils from the junkyard. Cost me a whopping $23 and it firmed up the ride a bit.

The 250 coils lifted my 4x4 about 1.5 inches. I would just add a leaf to the pack, but im cheap.

Sometimes cheaper is just has good as " doing the right way ", On the leaf springs do i just need and one or two, and the other thing what about f150 4x4 springs to put in the front and rear. Cause the 4x4 set level and handels a load better than a 2wd
