What else do i need to do, i want to have a 2" coil spacer lift so do all i need is coil spacers, longer shox and strut spacers?

i have already started on the strut spacer, i am using chevy header flange, they costed 18 bucks for a steel one, since i need 4 i just baught the crappy kind of card board stuff and i traced it onto steel plate and i am making them that way, i think it will turn out good.

my lug nuts require more torque then my engine makes ;)

OK hold up! The flanges i also used for the spring spacers too. Pull the spring out and the rubber pad and put the 2" spacer in and put the pad and spring back in and dada you have lift! Ha i like it. And as fare as the camber bolt goes, Just take the top bolt out and put in a 7/16th bolt in it's spot. All works good for me.

P.S. make the spacer the same way as the strut one.
Hope this is a help. ;D ;D

My plan  is to use 2" jeep spring spacers and then bore them out to what it has to be, and use the sturt spacers that i am making and then get a little longer shcok in the back, will this not work?

my lug nuts require more torque then my engine makes ;)

it will work the front but the part that the spring sits in in the rear is not long enough to keep it in place on articulation.(top of spring) You have to make an extention for the back so the spring does not fall out.
Just make sure the shocks you get are not too long k. ;D
