95 150 leveling kit

I have a 95 150 extended cab short bed 4x4. How big of coil spacers do i need in the front to level the truck? I looked on amazon and a few other places and they make all different sizes. 2in, 2.5in , 3in. I just want the truck to sit level. I know you have to keep in mind how much the suspension compresses once you set it down. What size should i get?

I used Moog 844 coils on mine. Worked great.

I used Rough Country leveling springs on my '91 with longer KYB shocks to match. I am very pleased with the stance and have Cooper 32s on it. I experience a small amount of wandering on the highway which could be the roads or the tires. It's slight but I have a Skyjacker steering stabilizer & rear KYBs to install which supposedly will eliminate that. I replaced all other steering components when I did my front end FULL MONTY.

Ok so you used just longer coils instead of putting spacers in. Is that right?

Truck looks good! So after you installed the springs how much higher did the front sit? Do the 32s rub at all? I have 31x10.5 BFGs on mine and they just nick the front bumper while turning while the suspension is compresed.

Thanks. To be honest I never really measured but somewhere between 1.5 and 2 inches. The 32s only rub on full lock which never happens with regular driving. They're well clear of the front bumpers on my vehicle and I previously has 31s. Frankly its minor & easy to avoid. I'm very happy with the Coopers.

I think the front must touch the inner fender shield. I should check sometime but I never think about. Only when I make acute turns on my property and its easy for me to avoid.

I just took a look and the best I can tell is they either rub on the front stabilizer, where is drops down, or on the radius arm. I need another hand to keep the wheel on full lock while I take a look.
