It's hard to answer since you neglected to inform us of the year, make, and model you're alluding to, but here goes:
I never assume, even IF your username contains one specific vehicle...
Only "coil lift"-ing a 2wd more than 2" will cause the UCA to hit the frame stops, put the ball joints at extreme angles, and run the shocks to full extension, causing a terrible ride and trouble aligning the FE.
The right way is a set of lift knuckles. That way you retain the OE coil, shock, balljoints, and steering geometry.
Please dont do it cheap, do it right.

My bad it is a 1994 Chevy ecsb I'll go with the knuckles. Better quality and the right way to lift it

Cool. Here's a set of pics of my 4.5" knuckle lifted 2wd 2500.
315 75"s (34.6" tall) do not rub, though I had to trim the valance. Then I removed it for my front mounted hitch

What did you do to the rear to level?

Just a simple set of 4" tapered lift blocks.
