a coil spacer and shocks will be around $235. that will make the front level with the rear. If you want it a little higher in the rear than you can do an add a leaf and they are $50.
so at the most You'll be looking at $300-$325

If your usin the coil spring spacer you still use the stock length shocks so you may not need new ones. If you go with new springs you will need the taller shocks but you will get a much nicer ride if you use the right ones.
GRI, I don't know where you found the leveling blocks and shocks for $235 but I wished I'd found that place earlier. Usually yur gonna pay around $60 for the blocks and shocks can vary by brand. I stuck with Bilstien 5100's on mine, I've used other brands without much luck.
Like GRI said though, just get a helper spring and I just cut out a peice of 3/4 inch flat plate and made a block to put with it. They wanted like $40 to buy a block and mine is the same thing without the fancy paint that won't last the week anyway.

The add a leaf I just put in added about 1/2 an inch by itself, and that's being gracious, it was someplace closer to a 1/4 inch in reality but I'm givin it the benefit of the doubt. That's why I pulled it apart and added the block to it.
I moved the factory block that is under the top overloads down under the main pack and put my 1/2 block back in it's place under the overloads. The factory block was just that little bit thicker then what I made.
