Front add a leafs

I searched this but didn't find everything I was looking for.

I have a 96 f-250. I'd like to lift my truck about 2 inches. I replaced the front springs two years ago, yet the front still sits pretty low. I was thinking of putting in front add a leafs and rear 4" blocks. As it is now, the rear is not much higher than the front, so I would need the taller blocks. I was thinking of going with the superlift http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slf-2049/overview/ Is this a good idea? Will anything else on the front end have to be modified for this to work? Thanks.

I've been looking at the same springs for mine. Since I can't fit 33's on my f250, although it seems like I should be able to.

So I can't really help,(I'm sure someone will be able to) but I am interested in seeing the outcome
