Default 95XL leveling kit

I have a 95 F150XL, 2wd. It sits leaning forward, since it's pretty much bone stock. I want a leveling kit, but some of my friends said i can just put in rings or spacers? I want it to be real level so i'm gonna do 2". I wanna know, would the rings or spacers work, or should i just go legit and get the coil springs?
Plus, would it look wimpy with just 30s on it?
Please help.

You can't do a leveling kit because of the I-beams on the 2wd of the pre 1997 trucks. Your tires will start leaning in and wearing bad

He can, because people have done it but he'll need new camber bushings or his tires will wear really bad but it can be done

I just did my 1990 xlt. I have a nice write up on here with photos. There are many kits. I simply replaced the stock springs with heavy-duty springs from Autozone for a 2" lift. Then all you need is an alignment from a competent technician. Mine didn't even need adjustable bushings.
