Measure how much lift you got over stock, go from there.

If its less than 2" you should be able to get away with cheap spacers. Otherwise you may have to get coil springs.

Be prepared to relocate brake lines if you already haven't. Probably want new shocks, too.

If you have your stock flares on. I believe that sock height measures 17" from center of wheel to bottom of flare. SO, measure and subtract 17 from your total to get the approx lift height.
