Need 1.5" lift in the front of my '96 Taco

Hey guys, I have a 4wd '96 Taco with new leafs in the rear that netted a couple inches of lift. I want to get the front leveled up with new springs or spacers, about 1-1.5". It also needs shocks out front but has bilsteins in the rear already that got installed with the new leafs a couple yrs ago.

What would you guys recommend to get about 1" in the front? Spacers or new springs? What about shocks, which would you recommend?
Truck has about 280,000 kms on it.

Any inputs appreciated!

spacers will be the cheapest option.

Yea forsure. Im not necessarily looking for the cheapest option...wouldn't hurt to put new springs up front as these ones have 280k kms on them. What would you recommend for a brand of struts?

Here's a pic of the truck, Im thinking of going with 1"just to maintain that bit of rake in the back.
