Default leveling kit help

hey got my new rims and spacers mounted the other day. 265/75 tires. 16x8 rims. with 1.5" spacers. my front tires are rubbing. (was able to get a lil more turn with some "modifications" lol) but im going to have to lift. i looked into 2" coil spacers for the front. was thinking of buying these.

take a look and tell me what you think. with 2" my front should be in line with the rear correct? and thats all i would need right? no control arms?.

You could always crank your t-bars for free lol. That gave me about 2" and I'm now higher in the front. Keep in mind the max is 24.25" from the wheel well to center of hubcap.
Ride will most likely be rougher regardless of what you do

Nope. May want to learn up a bit more before giving advice and crankin t bars is not free, you would need an alignment afterwards.

If your truck is like mine 2 inches will make it higher than the rear and it could look squatty. I used the 1.5" coil spacer from Daystar and it made my front look a little higher than the back. I had to add a 1" block in the back to make it look right.

I got the Daystar Kit for $30 something on sale.
