4x4 f250 2" lift springs
My 95 that I've had for about a year now has factory front springs with some unknown add-a-leaf. As it is now the truck sits level clear 33" tires but rides like a covered wagon. I'm looking to improve the ride but not do a solid axle swap or shackle reversal. Ive been looking at the ats 2" extra arch springs from ATS and think this is the direction I want to go. Any one have any experience with 2" springs on stock brackets? How level does it sit? Did the front end up being higher than stock rear? My camber and caster is already dialed in for the extra height with the add-a-leaf, I'm not worried about changing out the slugs if I need to.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The leaf spring TTB isn't a very forgiving suspension. It's hard to get good results if you start changing things unless you either really know what you're doing or else use a complete kit from someone who knows what they're doing.
If it were me I'd go with stock springs (should still clear 33s). If I really wanted a 2" lift I'd use drop brackets and springs to keep the geometry stock.
Maybe others who have pushed limits with this suspension will be able to better answer your specific questions.

Absolute best way to do it is with brackets. Lift springs with no brackets will require adjustable caster/camber bushings, and 1) there is no guarantee you will get enough out of them to align a 2" lift, and 2) even if you got the alignment right, you'd sacrifice a lot of caster in order to do so.
