Default Front end lift for 2WD

I have been looking into lifting my front end a couple inches to make the truck look a little better. I have an 04 QC. Daystar makes a 1.5 inch lift for the front. Has any one used the daystar lift/spacers before and how would it look? They only run 72.00 but how much would installation cost me? Are there any other options for my truck.

I used them on my jeep wrangler. I liked them alot, 2" was just the perfect lift with 33's. They're pretty easy to install too.

where'd you find it for that price? and has anyone done the install themselves? if so, any special tools required? how hard was it to do?

I found it for that price on ebay. Looked for the same store just now and couldn't find it again. However, i did find it for $79.00 at truxxexpressions. I have heard that it (daystar 1, 1.5, or 2.5") can be installed by yourself. but i also heard you need a few specific tools that only a shop would have. Being that they are only spacers for the coils it seems i could do it myself but i wouldn't want to get it all apart and then find out otherwise.
