'93 F150 front end lift w/2" Rancho Coils + 2"under coil spacers

Aloha guys,
Well, from my earlier post regarding poor MPG, I wanted to change the subject to something I'm
planning on doing also. I'm wanting to raise the front of
my rig to level it out without spending the bucks on a full
on lift kit.
I was wondering if I would run into problems
installing Rancho or similar 2" coil springs and also a 2"
spacer (the type that goes under the coil spring) I was thinking that I may need a spring compressor to install both spring and spacer .Has anyone tried this combo ?
I guess the ride would suffer, but was wondering how much?
Also,would I be able to align the front without any real modification.? Would this combo raise
the front approximately 3-4"?
Any help will be appreciated

Aloha and Happy Holidays!!!!
Cal

go with the 2" coilds which will level out the truck some. Anything over that your going to need a full blown lift with brackets and all. look around, there is tons of info on this subject.

Wow this is the 3rd reply to the same question today, for a cheap lift , put F_350 2WD front coils in , everyone said it would work , and it does , this the thread i started on it:

It raised it up quite a bit camber is slightly out but it can be corrected.Good Luck , hope you find what your looking for.
