Default How to lift front 1"?

In my 02 ECSB 2wd I want to lift the front to level it out with the rear. Where can I buy what I need?

Why 1". The rear is 2" higher. I don't know of any spindles or control arms that will only lift 1".

I guess I'll have to measure but it looks about 1" lower than the rear. Those spring spacers look perfect.

I know about spring spacers, but they tear up over time.
