Default Leveling kit for 2008 Ram 2500

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Hemi,I baught a 2" leveling kit from hell bent steel. The difference between the front and rear is about an 1 1/2" will you notice the 1/2" difference after the leveling kit is installed on the front?
Any recommendation on how to get the front springs out to install this kit, we dropped the front axle, but the springs still had plenty of tension on them, did not get them installed on that attempt.

Mines a 2" Revtek level kit and it actually settles after a few miles at 1 3/4" which is what I saw mine was to be unlevel to start. Mine appears totally level now..... (2008 2500) see my photo page for better pics

I don't understand as some claim to be 2", 2 14" and 2 1/2" when all of that is too much of a lift. Remeber do not measure at the top of the wheel wells as they are different front to back.

What are the biggest tires you can stuff under a 08 QC 2500 with a 2 inch kit installed?

I would say the 31570R17's that I have, they rub a bit on the mudflaps only at full turn sometimes....

To get the springs out you should use coil spring compressors. I bought mine at Auto Zone for 25 or 30 dollars I think.

Here's some on ebay:
