Might give it to much. Might not. Usually they give it an 1 1/2 or 2 above factory stock height. At least mine did. Little stiffer ride but some people like that.
The easiest would be adding an overload spring. They aren't to hard to install. It would probably stiffen the ride some but it is probably already "soft" due to the saggy springs.
You could also install a 2 inch lift blocks to get it back up to proper height but you'd need to change out the u-bolts for longer ones.

put the leaf spring helpers on....seem to work....gave me about an inch and a half and now the truck is ALMOST level
either way...as long as that doesnt stress out the orig springs too much it should work

I swapped in explorer springs all the way around my '89 BII. Definitely stiffens the ride up, But it's not as stiff as helper springs that I have dealt with before. Also I bought my springs for under $100 for all four off an explorer with less than 30k miles. Not sure what helper springs will run you. Just my $.02
