with getting 3-3.5" bigger coils, am i needing to get new control arms and what not up front?

and doing this will raise the whole truck and not just the body correct?

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.
