You might have some problems because we have solid axles on the front, and you have spindles. Not sure if they would work

No, you have IFS and 4x4s have a solid axles. There are two whole different suspension types, ans with them different loads and geometrys that are put on the springs.

And 2x4 is a piece of wood, you cant put a suspension on that.

And 2x4 is a piece of wood blah, blah blah and I think every lifted 2WD truck out there is considered a B.A.M.F. Truck, and that you CAN put a suspension on that.
I fixed that for you .

You can go with spacers to give you the 4X4 height you want.

1", 1.5", 2", and 2.5" (maximum.)

I don't believe you can use 4X4 coils, but maybe some 2WD 3/4 ton or 1 ton springs
