2" leveling coils

Hey guys! I have an '87 F-150 and I'm planning on putting a pair of 2" leveling coils in the front to make it sit level. I'm wondering if that's gonna throw off the camber or the alignment or anything like that. I've heard that I'll have to bring it in to a shop and have them adjust the camber, so I was just curious. I was also planning on getting new shocks and I have the dual shock mounts in the front and I've heard of guys putting only 1 shock and just ignoring the other mount to make for a little nicer ride. Can anybody tell me the advantages/disadvantages of this, and it it's even safe to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

i bought 2" daystar leveling blocks for the front of my 92' 4x4 and it worked great. But if i were you i would go with a reputable lift kit brand and get the coils. Yes you will need to get a new alignment because your camber will have a very positive outward lean. I counld'nt lend any positive advice on the shocks mine only has a single mount but if I were you I would go with a softer ride shock like a monroe gas-magnum and go ahead and run both shocks.
