Exclamation No body lift

Hey everyone, I am still pretty new here and i want to know what i can do to lift the front of my truck? I have a 1993 3.9 LE 4x4. I got a torsion key leveling kit installed but i wanna add an add a leaf (because i don't wanna use cheater blocks) for an extra 2" in the back but i wanna keep my rig level. Any ideas on what i can do to get 2", if not at least 1" in the front?

If you got indexed keys up front that gives you about 2-3in. Add a leafs out back for 2-3in. That is it for suspension lift. The only other thing is the 2in body lift which is cheep and easy to install. The negative effects everyone thinks of body lifts is 3in-up body lifts, 2in are just fine no problems.

So you can get 4in lift for under $150.

Thanks man, I think I'll stick with just my suspension. I like the stance and height pretty good. Mind commenting on my new thread about tires? Would appreciate the input since I see you all over here. Seems like you are the wise elder of the first gen Dakotas
