2"-3" front leveling... kit?

i have heavy duty springs in the rear and the font sits way lower than back so i want to get some coil springs on the front to level it out and help fit my big tires.
my question is.. if i add like 2" coil spacer (3" if possible :P), will i need the stud extenders? the extended bump stoppers, or new longer shocks...?

The most you can go is 2" without aftermarket control arms. Longer shocks would be good to help from overextending them or bottoming them out. Read the link in my sig, it should help explain everything more.

What "stud extenders" are you refering to? The biggest spacer you can run without aftermarket control arms is 2".

yes, my 1999 f250 v10 2wd. and the stud extenders like the ones in this picture. Just about all coil spacers i look at, the include these with it.http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-ALUMIN...ht_2039wt_1344

and are ebay ones any count btw? cause i mean what much difference could they be from some $125 ones other than material their made of.. which does or doesnt make alot of difference ?

Oh those are shock extenders. The screw onto the stud on top of the shock. Those ebay spacers don't look to have a groove for the spring to rest in. Seems a little sketchy to me.

One like this would be much better. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Daystar-Leve...item3cbfcd2842

yeah i think they go under with the skinny part inside the coil to where when ou bolt it all back together they wont slip or move around lol.
Sooo does that mean i would need them or no? cause i could see where i would to where i wouldnt "max" out my shocks.. know what i mean?

Forget all previous posts, seeing as you have an actual SD F250. I thought you meant you have a 7700 f150.

Honestly, I have no clue. Maybe try asking in the F-250/Super Duty section.
