It sags 2" lower than 6.5", or it 'sags' 2" lower than the rear?

If your springs are actually sagging, and adding spacers will bring the front back up to 6-7", you should be able to just slap em in and go since (I'm presuming) everything else is already properly set up for 6-7".

you need to adjust them every time you alter your lift height.

You will also have to do something with your steering too. The tie rod ends will go past their ability to flex at full droop.
