Default 2" lift on a 2wd

This is my first question. I'm new to trucks and a little lost on how to shop for and do a lift on my 2003 2Wd f150 super cab 8' bed triton v8. From what I've gathered so far I think I got it easy with the 2wd. I just need spacers for the front. and blocks and U bolts for the back, Right? can you recommend any reputable sites to get a kit. Also how much harder would it be to add a leaf in the back While i'm doing it? Thanks for all your help and inlightenment.

Your on the right track...eBay will have the lift spacers or lift coils you need. I think AAL's are great way to go and are easy to install. But blocks will work. Your choice.

Oh yeah! I just looked up what a AAL is. I'm definitly going with those instead. cuz i wanted some more support too. i could only find them for 2004's on ebay but i'll keep looking for a 2" aal.

now should i get 3" front coils or spacers. would that level my truck better. I havn't really looked or noticed if the fronts lower but everyone else is doing it.

Either way will be good...the springs got to come out either way...I'd go with 3" coils.....my AAL's are from Roughcountry.com.
