Looking to get this 2.5” rough country lift/leveling kit for my 2001 Ram 1500. It says it’s for 4wd but is there any reason it wouldn’t fit on my 2wd truck?

Got any photos of the kit that you can post? The 4WD and 2WD suspensions are quite a bit different, especially in the front of the truck.
I just posted some but it says the mods have to approve them. If you copy and paste the link you can see the photos or just look up rough country #362.20
Pics show for me. Not sure the front springs are the same diameter between 2 and 4wd..... Does the 2wd even use coils? Or is it torsion bars?
it’s got coils. I might just go with one’s that say they’re specifically for a 2wd just to be sure though I wanted to go with that rough country kit cause it looked like a good deal comes with new shocks and reviews were good but don’t wanna risk wasting my money buying something that doesn’t fit. I found some coil spacers and leaf spring blocks specifically for a 2wd but they’re separate and available in different sizes, should I go with 3” in the front and 2” in the rear? Do you think that would make the truck level?
The rear is generally 2 to 3 inches higher than the front, so, just the spring spacers should level it out. I do believe there are already blocks in the back.... (there are on 4x4s at any rate) and I am just not a fan of stacking blocks. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
