Default Have some parts questions

I have a couple questions and thanks for any info in advance!
Truck is a 1995 XLT 4x4 5.0 sc.

1)I put bed rail caps on and now I need bull rings, prefere pop up type to tie loads down, I can't seem to find any for a 95, all say they fit 97 or newer. If you know one that fits I would appreciate the info.

2)Truck has 47k orginal miles, I replaced shocks but have the typical front sag, I noticed with a load the truck rides really smooth, with no load its ok, but I would like to level it, I called around and shops wanted around $1000 to level it. I seen on ebay some billet spacers, I think they go between spring and mount to give a 2 inch lift, none of the shops even said this way was a option, so I was thinking, does the spacer make it unsafe and would a shop install them. They are about $60 a set, but wanted opinions first.

Instead of a level you could just get a small lift I have always been told to do a lift over doing a level

Default Lifted

This is how I did mine

First is the original front height of my 94 302, 4x2.

The second picture is after instal F250 Coil springs (C844).

The last picture after 1 inch spacer and F250 coils.

The truck looks great now, feels a little stiff now, but I´m sure it will get better with time.
