Nice video, I used it to do the same to mine. For me, the bends on the bottom of springs are larger than originals and the factory retainer washers aren't large enough to hold the springs. reviewing your video it looks the same (7:00 mark). does this pose any issue?

Seems like it should touch. I'm not 100% sure without looking at it unfortunately. Potentially dumb question, but the spring isn't upside down by chance is it?

Do you know if they make a 2" spring kit? I really dont want to have to go through the trouble of buying am actual lift kit just to level my truck. Mine has a factory lift block in the back but nothing done to the front. Its a 95. Im sure yours has the same block.

Rough Country sells a 2.5 inch lift kit for $399. That includes rear lift components as well. You might be able to call Rough Country and get just the front springs. I know the rake on my truck was enough that I could have lifted the front 2.5 inches and it wouldn't have looked wierd.

Yes. Taller springs will lift it more. However, the taller you go, the more the camber will need to be corrected.

With such a small lift, there should be enough adjustment in the factory suspension to fix the camber. You will need an alignment.

If you're just replace factory springs, you should be good without an alignment. However, if it's been a long time since you're last alignment, it may not be a bad idea to get one.

Do brake lines need to be extended or any other parts need to be replaced if use 2 inch lift vs your 1.5 lift?

I think you should still be good with 2 inches. If I had to guess, I think anything after 3 inches is where you start getting close to the limits of your stock brake lines. If in doubt contact the manufacturer of your lift. 👍👍
