Cholesterol

My pickup is currently equipped with 2-2.5" plastic & poly spacers up front that the previous owner had installed. They stand out like a sore thumb, and I'm going for the handling and ride side of performance, currently, even if slight.

Is there anything to consider with replacing these spacers & stock springs with 2-2.5" springs of the proper rating? I'd imagine I could trade straight across with no other issues or requirements.

On a similar note, does anyone sell standalone sway bar end links for the 2nd gen, or are they unnecessary with only 2-2.5" of lift up front?
