Default 2002 2wd front end lift question???

Hey all,
in my possession I have a 2" coil spacer leveling kit for my truck. After It has been installed my truck will be level. I want to go further and add another 2-3" without having to mess with spindles, control arms, etc, etc. If i can accomplish this ill add blocks and u-bolts in the rear to gain a level 2-3" lift all around.

the truck is a 2WD 2002 silverado 1500. How can I add a couple more inches up front after the leveling kit is in place without a full suspension lift kit(budget issues......)

Spindles are cheap, those would be the best bet honestly...without goin either spindles or full suspension lift that leaves you with a body lift.

What I'd do, is do a 3" spindle lift, 3" block out back then add a 1.5" body lift on top of it. All in all about 400 if you can find a deal on the spindles, if not then about 500(200 for body lift and 300 for spindle lift). Blocks are cheap so I didn't include those

Check out eBay...they'll have em in the 300 dollar range. Still not cheap but better than the 400-500 dollar range for the same thing
