Its quite possible, that could be a lot of weight up front.

With my tube bumber and 12k winch my front sits about an inch lower then the rear. Granted I have really soft RK coils, I bought acos spacers so I could adjust my height perfect to match the rear

with new springs 2" might set you a little high. (my rc springs hold there own pretty well)
