Default 2wd Leveling kit

Hello,
I am going to put a leveling kit in the front on my 2002 ram 2500 2wd, and i was wondering what is the highest i can do without changing the shock absorbers? i am looking at hopefully 2 inches.

If you want to be cheap and not bottom out the shocks, space them down same amount as you lift it.
But you can look from Rockauto catalog stock replacement shocks, at least some of them have collapsed and extended measurements.
I'm not familiar with 2wd front suspension, but usually they have bump stop under the upper control arm, which limits the down travel before the shock bottoms out.
