Hey George,
Did you ever get the new springs from Calmini?

OME has come out with a set specifically for our truck. I will be fitting some on from RRO soon. I'm hopeing I will see what 2" of lift actually looks like on my truck. I'll let ya know how it goes. We finally got some XLs around town and I went to the local Walmart tonight and did some measuring. I am in the same boat as you. I have the 2" body lift and I can only figure about 3" of difference from stock. That was a $1000 for an inch! Oh well, live and learn I guess.  :-/

I did get new springs from Calmini.  Just waiting for some warmer weather to put them on.  You should call them if that gets you no place you could all ways do spacers :-/  
On a side note my wife got her new car so now I'm free to do what I what to mine.  So evry soon I will be doing a 2 BD lift with the springs

Update:

Well the replacement springs have sagged even more    So got new 3" lift springs form VTTR .  Will hopefully be putting them on this weekend if the wife does not have me doing yard work.    Will post pics and numbers of before and after.  I can say that the new spring are not as tall as the Calmini ones but they do have a much higher spring rate  So we will see.....

Still a newbie, who is VTTR?

Well got the new springs on and WOW what difference.  The ride hieght before was from ground to top of wheelwell was about 35" I now have about 37"   or just about 2 3/4 total lift.    We  will have to see how these springs hold up.  I good feelings about these spring after comparing them to the Calmini ones I had much heaver and thicker.

I also should mention that I replaced the rear shocks with 99 v6 Frod F150 4x2 shocks. I now a nice smoth ride as well     They are a touch longer then the Calmini ones but much new springs are too.

If you have a measurement I may be able to tell you which ones they are.
