Coil spring lift, coil spacers - AL

I have a new ranger in the family its a 2008 2wd basic coil sprung ranger, Im looking to lift the front a little to accommodate biger tires. If any one has any coil spring spacers or bigger coils i can buy let me know. Or if anyone knows any information on lifting a coils sprung truck cheaply let me kno what i need.

I have a fabtech 2.5" kit at home (ill be home in a week). I don't know if you have the same suspension. It fits my 2000 2wd ranger. The kit has longer coils and new uppers

Ill take some pics and post it when I get home. The uppers need to be painted. The springs are fine. You need to be careful with coil spaces/just springs, they are murder on the upper ball joints. I have seen it with only 1.5" spacers. Personally, I went with spindles. Keeps stock geometry for the most part. Idk what the kit is worth, but lemme know how interested you are. I'm guessing I would have to ship it to you. I'm in CA 95064. Pm me if you wanna start dealin with specifics. The kit would be uppers, springs, camber bolts, poly bushings. You would need to press in ball joints. I know fabtech isn't the best, its a looks kit, not performance.

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm not sure if these would work for a 2008, but I would guess they would if the spring diameter is right:
