leveling kits

first off, i have a 1990 4x4 7.3L f-250.

i have a horrible rake on my truck since the front leaf springs are worn out horribly. an add-a-leaf wouldn't be enough to make my truck level, so new front springs are the only option.

i've been looking at rancho leaf springs, and i've seen them for my year 4x4 diesels in 2", 4" and 6".

i'm just wondering which set i should go with. obviously the 6" is too much, but what about the 4"? i'd like it to be level, but if it was an inch higher in the front, i'd rather that than have it with such a bad rake.

i'm wondering if it means it's going to raise the front up 2 inches more than level?

does anybody know?

i don't want a lifted truck. i like having my 31" pizza cutter tires, but some height to the front would make it look a whole lot better.

i'm just wondering how noticeable it would be to have it 2" higher in the front on this truck.

you can do what i did & put a set of ride rite bags on the front then they will be adjustable as to ride height & firmness. i run mine at 30 psi MT & 80 when pulling my TT .
