Everything I'm finding is labelled for a 4wd but I can't imagine that matters...opinions? It looks like pro comp has a package at 750$ from summit racing but I'm curious if y'all have any recommendations. I would need all 4 leafs and I don't really want to lift it at all but am going to have to it looks like. Are there options for getting new spring packs built?
Rough country has one but it uses blocks for the back.
I'm not really serious but am looking at options in case I win the lottery. Also, jasmine is going to need new tires this fall so why not upgrade the suspension while I'm at it?
 
A 2WD truck will not be leaf springs in the front.

Keep the stock springs, add bilstein shocks. Why do you need to change the springs?

For tires, I'd try and stuff some 235 BFG at's and Cherokee 10-spoke wheels on it.
 
Unless the springs are getting flat I'd keep them. With it only being the rears I be alcans wouldn't be to much. Maybe 5-700 for two rear springs made or your truck that are stock height
