I think that if you go with just factory springs you will be about 2 inches higher im sure over 17 years your factory springs have sagged 2 inches. Just a thought.

Im just curious, if you have thought maybe about throwing a slightly larger sized tire on your truck to raise it that 2 inches.

It would work, unless you are going for that more room between the tire and wheel well look.

Daystar makes a 2" spacer, but I think it throws the front end geometry out of whack, but I dunno for sure.

i seriously belive that factory replacement springs will give you 2 inches, i know my factory springs are saggin quite abit actually.

does it still have the lift block in the rear, if so you could get a 4 inch lift and remove the lift block, actually giving you 2 inches of lift, another thought.

They may or they may not.

I would talk to a spring shop and get your springs re-arched with an extra 2" or so of lift. Any good spring shop will be able to do this for you.

You might need slightly longer brake lines for the front and rear. A set of stainless steel braided lines for a lift kit (even a bigger lift won't hurt) will do it.

Your camber will probably be off after lifting the front. You might be able to fix this with camber bushings, or you might need drop brackets. A good offroad shop will know exactly what you're talking about.

Lift springs. You don't want a lift block in the front. Well, you don't want a lift block in the rear, either, now that I think about it.

But now you want a 4" lift - you should buy a 4" lift kit for your truck.

4 inch lift kit rasies the front 4 inches the rear 2 to keep truck level

6 inch kit lifts front 6 rear 4 so on and so on.

if you want 2 inchs go for a leveling kit that will lift front 2 inchs rear none
