95 f150 leveling kit question

hi i bought a leveling kit for my 95 f150, all it is is 2 inch coil spacers from daystar with the bolt extenders. my truck has an extreme rake, and i have 6 leafs on each side of my truck for hauling, i no that with the 2 inch lift it won't lift it a full 2 inches because of weight, so in addition to the spacers, could i fit in a f250 spring on each side to compensate? also, would i need new shocks? i no il need a alignment and most likely new camber bushings for it, i just want to no if putting 250 coils, 2 inch spacers, and maybe 2/3 inch longer shocks is a good i dea.
thanks!

i no theres a LOT of threads out there with info on leveling trucks pre 97..but i haven't found any that combine f250 shocks AND 2inch spring spacers, all i want to no is if this would work, and give me a combined at least 3 inches of lift in the front to level out. and if i could just use my stock shocks or if i would have to get shocks that are part of a lift kit that are 2 inches bigger.
thanks!

Iv been doing more reading, and i found 4 inch lift coils, would just one of those on each side be better?? or i also found 2 inch lift coils, i could use those with coil spacers? keep in mind i dont exactly want a 4 inch lift, more like a 3 but im trying to compensate for the weight of the truck.
