On a two wheel drive it is common to put a spacer in the front coil springs.
You could also consider dropping the rear end of it, kits are available either way you decide to go.

3" or 2 1/2" spring spacer or rear drop? I couldn't tell you since I have a 4wd but you may be able to find them at jcwhitney, summit racing, jegs, any car place. I don't know for sure never had to look for them.

The picture you see in my signature is from the beginning of the summer.

Since then I went ahead and did the lightning style conversion front and rear. with silverstar ultras in them and the fog lights. it was about 3-400 bucks to do it. then i took vht nightshade and tinted my 3rd brake light on top of the cab.

I read somewhere that HID's are illegal unless they came with your car or something like that. I couldn't tell you whether they are brighter or not but I wasn't willing to dish out the dough to get those kinda headlights and not be satisified.
