Default 1.5" leveling kit/ install
I am going to buy a 1.5" leveling coil springs for my '89 2wd from rough country. I am wondering about the install of these. Will it be just like installing new springs or will other adjustments have to be made?

You're going to need new camber bushings with more offset. An alignment shop should be able to hook you up, you'll need an alignment anyways.

Should be, but I'd bring it to a shop unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing and have the right tools, TTB can be tricky to set up when changes are made.

twin I beam is the 2wd version, TTB is twin traction beam, which is the 4wd front axle, and yes those will work, make sure you order the right ones
