Help on leveling kit!

I want to buy a front leveling kit! I have the big Ranch grill and bumper on my truck, it weight almost 1000 pounds it took a fork lift to put it on lol! It's been on there for about 2 to 3 years! So my front sags down! So I want to put either a 2 or 3ins leveling kit! I have seen some with shocks and some with out, I don't think I need shocks sence I'm just bringing it back to stock! But I'm not for sure tho!! What's a great kit to have!! Thanks y'all

You won't need lift kit shocks, but I would get new ones as I am sure what's there is junk.

I can't tell what year your truck is. If it's '04 down I've used the simple shackle kits off Ebay a few times. Work great and cheap. If you're 05 and up, a simple spring spacer kit.

05 up: DayStar KF09101BK Comfortride Suspension Coil Spring Spacer Leveling Kit Black | eBay

X code springs from the snowplow prep package will probably suit this issue better, you can the spacer too if you want it even higher. Just my opinion.

The X Code will be fine and those bumpers only weigh about 275#
