really not a lot out there for the 4x2's any more. You can check top guns customz, and see if they have anything for ya.

Suspension on a 4x4 is totally different in front, and nothing will interchange. There are a bunch of other threads here along these lines, some have links to various sites/products. Might try searching those out.

What if I just bought raised spindles and blocks for the back could that be a alternative?

Maybe you could go with the 2500 springs. It would stiffen the ride but give you some lift.

Are the springs the same though? I am also not sure if the balljoints on the 2 wheel drive fellers would be real forgiving of that kind of behavior......

Would it be stupid or hard to just convert the front suspension to a 2500 suspension?
