Lifting 99 expy

I have a 99 2WD expy. I was wondering what would be the best and cheapest way to level the front end out. I heard spring spacers would do the trick. What about torsion bars? How will this affect the air ride system? And how much rougher will the ride be?

Welcome Phil:

Since you have a 2wd you don't have torsion bars. I would go with the spacers. Just make sure your measuremnts are on the money because you could lift ther front too much and end up with the Baja look.

On the other hand, you could easily in 10 minutes reset the postion of the air ride height sensors located over the rear axle, and lower the rear to match the front.
