Default Leveling kit

Alright, so I am looking into leveling my 1999 F-150 Lariat 2WD... I've looked at getting the daystar 2.5" front leveling kit. Which is basically a coil spacer. I have no idea what to do, and if I am even looking at the right thing, if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. If you can provide me with the correct amount of inches to get the spacer, what company and what type. That would be great.
Thanks so much

Are you set on a spacer, or open to other forms of lift? In which case you have many options...

I'm looking for the least expensive and easiest to install, from what I have seen a coil spacer is least expensive and easiest to install. I may be wrong haha

Well your right with that, the spacers are the easiest, and cheapest. Although a 2" is the biggest spacer you can get without changing out other components. There's quite a few guys on here running them. I had the 1.5" for a long time until I put a true lift on. the 2" should level it perfect with the rear

So a 2" spacer would be good? If so what brand do you recommend?

With those you could squeeze 33's but i'd personally be more comfortable with 31's
