I had considered relocating the spring pockets lower on the frame to lift my truck, but haven't done it yet.

Advance Auto parts carries the coil over shocks for 65.00 per pair...you dont really want to raise the front alot as it will throw the Camber out and your tires will lean like this \ /

and that will also mess with the Bump-Steer...

I would raise the front not much over an inch...2 is pushing it without different I-beams...best bet is to lower the rear by 2inches...

You could get fat friends and have them ride around with you.

Feeding them might be costly though

Basically I want to make my own lift kit and moving the spring pockets will be part of the process. I've got to figure out how I'm going to make the I-beam drop brackets (easy part) and the radius arm drop brackets (hard part). I plan on lifting 3-4 inches. My truck is 2wd also.

using the I-Beams from an 80s f150 will help as well...
