Default bring the front up a couple inches

i want to bring my front up about and inch and a half or 2 inches. i already have coil spacers in the front. if i swap out the stock 1500 springs with diesel or v10 springs will i get about 2 inches? will this be ok to do with already having coil spacers?

The 2500/3500 HD springs would give you way more than 2" (don't remember the total amount). You could look for some springs off an OFF ROAD.

v10 and diesel coils is about 1.5 - 2 inches.. same as an offroad.. but the springs are much stiffer because they need to handle the weight of a diesel engine.. stiffer springs.. stiffer ride.. go for a offroad ram coils.. also if you already has 2 inch spacers.. and you still need 2 more inches.. your front end is really sagging.. if you just get regular coils off a 4x4 ram then it should even it out since a 2 inch spacer is suppose to level it out in the 1st place..

3+ inches in the front need new shocks.. so yeah most likely you will.. and you wont have a problem with 2500 springs in the front.. they are the same width just longer.. i got a set of rancho 5000 shocks at autozone for 90 bucks for a 2-4 inch lift

the sport springs are not any taller than a regular 4x4. If you want you can get some skyjacker lift springs you can get a 2 or 3 in lift coil and still use the lift spacers. You can get them from summit I believe for around $120 or so.
