2 inch lift

Well this is a story to tell. My truck, the rear shackles went out on it, and never had the money to afford to buy the shackles. (Shackles and hangers). So I drove my diesel ( I have came to grips with my PMS). So I graduated and rebuilt the bulldozer we own, and as payment my mom bought me the stuff. So just yesterday I started to work on it, and I came to the conclusion, might as well take the bed off, and clean up the rust (Previous owner never washed underneith, I don't think) So got the bed off to find at the end of the frame, its rust out, my front hangers are bad, and my shocks are no more. My gas tanks are rusty and its a manjery, so I am going to clean and paint and seal. So why I am doing this I decided to lift the truck up 2 inches. I want to go by way of blocks in the back, and spacers up front, something simple and cheap so I can run just a little bit bigger tire. I would like to find a block kit where it comes with the U bolts, and just a spring spacer kit for up front. The cheaper the better (But I don't want ****) so just reasonable priced. I will try to post pics. Thanks guys. Keep on truck'n
