leveling kit

sorry guys i have had some major internet problems for a while and have lost all of my computer info and couldent get on to the site. but any way i want to put a front add a lift on my 1976 ford f-250 high boy w/390, and 4x4 to make the front sit level with the back. only about 2 inches and have two questions?
1. will i have to mess with the drive shaft angle?
2. where can i get a little longer set of u-bolts for the front?

any help would be apreciated
thanks

On my 77 F-150 4x4 I used the coil springs (new) for a camper special and that brought it higher than the back, then I had to have a spring shop rearch the the back to match the front.

On my 73 f-250 4x4 I had the same shop redue the springs all around to make it sit level. They had the new u bolts there. I did have to mess with the drive shaft at all and it works fine.

I just installed some skyjacker 2" coils on my 74 f100 4x4 drives great. my driveline angle looks fine. I even engaged my four wheel drive to make sure. it drove fine.
