any 2" spacer will do. hell bent steel is a good brand. just measure the front and back on level ground to see what size for sure. 2" is common size.

When my truck was new........ 20 years ago....... all that we had for leveling kits was spacers. They worked. They brought the front end of the truck higher. They also put a weird angle on the upper control arm. I had an inexpensive Pro Comp, because a $50 spacer does the same thing as $100 spacer. Today, there are more options with leveling kits.

Depending on your skill level, you may be able to do this at home.
