I installed the new springs and shocks on the weekend and ended up with a lift of 3/4".
I thought it was going to be a little more b/c the free length difference was about 2", oh well, it looks better than it did!

4wd springs are exactly the same as 2wd springs.
To lift it 2", you need a leveling kit. It raises the front of the truck by about 1.5" to 2". You will also need a caster/camber sleeve that is designed to work with a small lift such as this. Unfortunately, this requires disassembly of much of the front end to install, and an alignment shop that knows how to deal with lifted trucks. Your local alignment shop may not have a clue about any of this and will more likely than not give you wrong or misleading information.
