Raising the front end....

I have a 1998 f150 4x4 and the rear of my truck is about 2-3" higher than the front, i know thats fairly common but i want to raise the front end up so the truck is level. Ive looked for coil spring spacers but there are none for the 4x4 version, just the 2wd. Is there any way to raise the front end up 2" such as buying new springs and shocks? I cant afford a lift so im looking for some way to do it. any ideas?

Your truck has torsion-bars in the front.You can adjust them "up" some,but I wouldn't try to get 2-3'' out of them.

Thanks for the site Bigdawgkp, im gonna email them see what springs and shocks they would reccomend and stuff like that. What exactly are torsion bars and how can you adjust them? Ive heard a few things hear and there about them but really have no knowledge about them.
