If you want to raise the front front end up a bit, get a add-a leaf. Usually only good for 1-1/2" to 2 1/2", but cheap and easy. Other that that its lift kit time, say 3" new front springs all together.

If it is side to side, insp the lower height leaf pack right where the u-bolts are for a broken leaf. If that the case, remove the spring, disassemble and replace the broken leaf.

Add-a leaf Procomp, Rancho, 4 wheel Parts, JC Whitney, Sky Jacker, Superlift....

FYI you rear springs are 2 1/4" wide the front is 3", make sure you specifically order for the front or rear.
