an inch or 2

Hi guys.
I have a 93 d250 cummins and over the years it seems the weight of the truck has had an effect on the height of the front suspension...or...its always been a bit low.

The thing I want to do is add 19.5 rims/tires...and the set I got are 32.5 wide...just enough to rub. its not a 4x4 - if it were these rims/tires would clear no problem..but its a 2wd...and the stock 235/85/r16 are sitting at 31.5...and fit fine.

Im tired of the heaviness of this truck destoying tires....it almost killed me a few times...and I really want to run these 19.5 for safety and tire life.

Is there ANY WAY...to get this front end up...just a little....Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks!

eBay had some spacers that raised the front end 2". I have a set sitting on my tool box to be installed

Other than that there is the heavy spring you can get from moog. Part number 2662s or something, diesel truck resource has a few write ups on it in the 1st gen section.
I have bought some from JC Whitney that were for snow plow/heavy front end loading duty,they lasted about 6 years before sagging back to stock height,check those out.
