You can get the basic and cheap rubber or poly coil spacers. Dont get the aluminum ones. I dont know anything bad about them but I just dont feel good about using a soft metal on the front end with all the weight. But 2" shouldnt run no more than $80 and 3" (hard to find but I do have a site for them) shoulds be no more than $150 I think. The site I have for 3" spacers have them listed for about $85 or so.

If you are going with 2" then keep the stock shocks. If you are going with 3" then get some slightly longer.

And all of this is assuming you have a 2WD because you dont specify what you have.
