Default Cheap suspension for a 98 ram 4wd

I understand many people like to use a coil spacer around 2-3 inches to level their 2g. I've looked and seen 3.5-4 inch coil spacers, is that something I can do to lift the front end? also maybe maybe a bigger could spring. I've heard that I would need upgraded control arms which I understand but I was just curious if this is even possible because coil spacers are very cheap. Im used to my 02 Powerstroke with just lift blocks and springs, sorry to bother. Ill include the links for the parts:

3" is all you can do without also addressing the control arms. Even that is going to be hard on various suspension/steering components.... Go any higher, and you need longer control arms, brackets for them, and steering modifications as well. (and likely track bar too...) If you want to do more than 3" of lift, just buy a GOOD lift kit, that has everything you need... Suspension is NOT something to cheap out on.
