K5 front springs onf150 for 2 inch lift

I am going to do either springs or spacers and am having a hard time deciding which to do. Ride height is 36.5 rear and 33.5 front. If the factory fronts come 2 inches lower (4x4) then my front springs have sagged an extra inch since she rolled off the floor. If I put new F250 springs in there wont it wind up raising it 3 inches instead of the 2 most folks are getting? Spacers would give me whatever they are labeled as (1,1.5,2 etc..). Then we gotta talk alignment.... If 250 springs give me 3 inches wont I have trouble getting the truck aligned even with adjustable camber bushings? Maybe a set of used 250 springs would be more what I am looking for. Should give 2 inches of lift and I'd still be able to get her aligned. What do you guys think?

If you put a one inch spacer under the spring, it will raise the truck about 1¼" . If you go about 2.5 inches higher than stock, it gets hard to get any caster once you get your camber adjusted, I have f250 springs and a leveling spacer, and my camber is okay, but the caster angle is f***** . Also I have almost no droop travel in the front, so the ride sucks because when the truck drops into a hole, the whole truck drops, the lesson is, don t get greedy. Next truck will be getting cut and turned beams, an soft springs.
