Front end Level/Lift

Hello again,

So I'm looking at leveling out the front end of my truck, so the tires won't rub when the wheel is turned fully to either side.Would also help to keep things from rolling under my toolbox in the bed. The front needs to come up about 1.5-2"

two different co-workers have differing opinions The first, which im sure holds some truth, is that the factory springs on it are compressed from years of service, and putting new stock ones on will get me where i'd like to be.

The second believes while that's true, I should still go with a 1-2" lift spring to pick it up.

I don't plan on doing anything to the rear suspension, although it's probably in need of replacement.

Or are the 33/12.50R16.5 tires just too big underneath it? When I find some rims that are 16" they'll be going to something smaller, like 285/75R16
