Installing Spacers

I have a 97 F150 2wd and im thinking about installing spacers. How hard is it it to install them and are there any other products you would need such as steering extensions, etc. I want the truck leveled and an extra couple inches as well. Any recomendations?
Thanks

Coilspring spacers? You remove the front coilspring and then reinstall them with the spacers and get the front end aligned. You can't go larger than a 2 inch spacer or you won't be able to get the alignment within specs without longer upper control arms. A lot of people need adjustable camber bolts to get the alignment within specs so I'd install them while you have the front end apart since they are usually less than $50 at most parts stores.
