2” leveling kit question?

I’ve just installed a 8” bds lift kit on my 2001 f250 and was looking to lift the front end more. Noticing the ride is more rough I was looking to try some 2” Sulastic front springs. Has anyone ever ran these if so how did it improve the ride? Also what would y’all recommend me install to lift the front end 2” and give me a better ride?

PMF dropped hangers and longer shackles.

Of course you can run 46’s on 6” of lift, so not sure why you want more!!

Does it really require a hanger? Don’t really like how they hang so low. Or can I just add 2” shackle?

Need hanger/shackle combo to maintain correct pinion angle.

You could also add a mini spring pack for a couple inches of lift.
