Yea, this can get pretty involved and expensive for a 2wd. Can you say "drop spindles" .

Body lift! 200 bucks plus under $100 installation, definitely the cheapest way.

Drop spindles or lift spindles? but these are the essayist way to go, I have only lifted a couple of two wheel drive trucks and they are worse to lift than any 4x4, usually lot's of alignment problems after the lift. The more complete kit the better. I am sure that there are some other 2wd lifted truck members on the forum that will chime in.

sorry but just my opinion, but I wouldn't waste my time with a 2wd. You had a sagging question and still have not answered the questions that have been asked by others. If you have a rubber spacer that could be the problem. If not , and they are indeed steel, maybe you should just get some new stock replacement springs to level it again. Other than that, I need to stay out of the lift threads. LOL

I disagree with this, you have lots of good old school beliefs on how things are done, your input is greatly appreciated.
