Default leveling truck

Does anyone know where or who to get a leveling kit for a 2wd. Lift front not remove spring from back. I wanna stuff (if possible) Michelin xl,xzl,xml tires under it yet keep in looking close to stock height. Wife dont wanna climb in a big lifted truck and in Seattle area a big lifted truck comes with some kind of compensating tag. I couldnt care less what others do with their truck as I am not the one driving it. Has anyone had luck tucking some michelins under theirs?

I am not exactly sure. I have always been a fan of tall narrow tires. But the the issue of rubbing comes in. Thus leveling truck by raising front (Moob spring?) comes into play. I just want sure we actually had a 2 inch lift for ours. I would like tires in the 30's. I seen someone on here that I believe tucked 38 inch tires under his 4x4. but they were kinds meaty. Thats why I like the Michelin XL tires. Good and tall but under 11 inches wide.

Go to DTR n search for 2wd lift in 1st gen section I remember reading about a Moog PN there a while back to level these then with a 2" body lift I think the guy was running 33's on it.

This may have not been done for a while. Seems all the coil spacers that people talk about are all dried up. All I can find from companies is stuff for 94+ models.

Coil spacers are sill around for jeeps but i haven't seen any thing for 2wd's in a while, they are still out their probably, you would just need to find the specs of what you need and try to find something with that specs, or make your own.
