The 2500 springs in the front will net about an inch to 2 depending on how worn out they are. I have similar helper springs on the back if not the same ones. I used a 2.5in level up front. Didn't bother with the springs. I don't need weight support up front. lol Also the only springs rumored to work are the v8 and v10 springs.

If you don't have a spring shop in your area with good prices, NAPA is usually pretty reasonable, and they can usually get nearly anything you want. Got my 2 ton front springs for my 2wd suburban from NAPA when I lifted it and was happy with the price.
