Probably be better of getting 2" lift springs for the rear, and moving your original rears to the front.

Get 2"spring spacers, would be safer and easier

I know a guy who did this - unfortunately they sag again so your lift will be temporary....
Springs don't cost a lot....

Not the best way to get a lift I would have thought. Spring spacers are designed to level a load not to be used to lift a vehicle 2".
The King springs I bought for my patrol cost about $140 for the pair. Can't imagine Rangie springs would cost so much more.
