You might be ok by doing that with the front. You may or may not run into front alignment problems. Some people using thos spaces have had troubles with getting the front end to alight right with the correct angles. Try it and see if it works but be sure to get it aligned at a shop soon after or your tires will start looking very funny. Worst case senario you would have to buy dropped pivot brakets for the i-beams but you may be ok without them. good luck

i'd suggest getting a taller spring, but out of the two the ring type would be better, the other is like a spring compressor instalation tool that just expands the coil but also keeps it from doing its job well, with 2" you'll more than likely need to get new caster/camber bushing, the adjustable kind would be best.

you have 2 options. #1 the right way, install new coil springs with 2inch's of lift. and an Add-a-leaf for the rear. #2 the "mickey mouse" way. when you add spacers you get the same affect as in a body lift. "body roll". It will prob cost the same to do it the right way. Its about 80-100$ for spings and 45-70 for Add-A-leaf. I have done several of these lifts and this has just been the best way with the best results. One thing to think about is 2inchs isnt very much. you probably wont notice the difference. Go 4inchs same cost and then you will see a more noticeable difference. just my .02.
