Default Leveling Kit Question

I have searched here for my answer and I am still not sure . I want to put a leveling kit on my 08 2wd Screw. I am going with the auto springs powder coated version. My question is, do I get the 2" or 2.5" I have 20" FX4 rims (they came with the 60th anniversary edition)
I don't tow or carry much, and I don't want to front to sit higher. I was told by dealer on ebay that the 2.5" would make the front sit slightly higher but that seems to be the size most go with. So will the 2" be the right one?
Thanks for your help

I trusted my measuring tape. Measured from the lip of the wheel to the highest point of the fender. Front and rear. Truck was a little over 2 inches lower up front. I bought the hellbent steel 3" kit. Looks awesome.

I put the 2" on my 08 and it looks good, i think that the 2.5" would be too much and make the front end sit higher.
