Default 2004 2WD fron leveling kit

I own a 2004 quad cab 1500 2wd Ram and want to put a leveling kit on it. I have been told that a 2" kit would work perfect that the front would not be too high is this correct? I measured the fender lip on the front and on the back and the back is exactly 2.5" higher than the front so I figured the 2" leveling kit would work however, I have been told that they could make the front higher than the back. Also, should I use polyurethane or aluminum spacers? Thanks.

What kit, what parts?
For every lift you put on you dont recive all of the lift promised
But yes a 2 inch level is about all you can find and will be fine but will still be a little lower in the front than the back(If your shocks are still new)

A leveling kit means lifting the front so no blocks there. CST makes lift springs. I used to have some. Daystar coil spacers are another option although the FIRST thing I would look at is lift spindles. Compressing the front spring with spacers or another spring is only going to give a more rough ride

The blocks im reffering to are the "pucks". If you ask me they are just as cheap as a body lift

Of course we do silly. What do you think our tires mount to?

Magic? Lol idk I just thought it was something else. Someone on here told me a long time ago that they didn't. But that was also when I was young and naive
