Default Suspension Help

So, I'm looking for the cheapest way to raise my truck. I have 2 parts that i am going to use. Add a leaf spring in the back will raise the rear 2 inches. Levling kit will raise the front 2 inches also. However that still leaves the front end 2 inches lower than the rear. Is there an easy way to raise the front end again? I'm looking into a Mr. Gasket Coil Spring spacer which will raise the front 2 inches supposedly. This is only 11 dollars. Is this true?
Thanks

not as cheap as $11, but to level it and get some lift all the way around, without spending a lot on a suspension kit would be a body lift. no where near the cost of suspension and it will give you 3" all the way around, and the leveling kit will level it out.

if you think your gonna get a 4.5" spacer up front, think again. your angles will be horrible and control arms will smack other components.

If its a 2wd get lift spindles in the front then get a leveling kit. the spindles will keep the angles correct but the leveling kit on top of that will raise it like 5". You will need longer brake lines but overall the geometery would be like adding spacers to a stock setup. This is only if it's 2wd.
