Hi Roger,AFAIK the main problem with raising the front end is,the MII IFS will have been set in the chassis to ride at that predetermined height.
The lower arms should always be parallel to the ground at ride height.
Raising it by fitting longer springs or the like would quite simply upset the geometry/alignment.IMO.
Do you know if the truck was also fitted with lowered front spindles?
If so you could gain 2" lift at the front by going back to stock spindles.

The rear as far as I can work out is in a similar situation,the 4 bar will have been set to work most effectively at that ride height too,simply raising it might bring other factors into conflict such as pinion angles,shock lengths etc,although if it's a fully adjustable set-up you might be able to compensate for that.

Hang in there,someone else more qualified than I should chime in soon with their comments/opinions or solutions too.
