2008 Ranger levelink kit w/coilovers?

Anybody out there know of a good kit that comes with coil-overs for my '08 Ranger FX4. I have Cooper ST Maxx 32" tires on the stock rims. The real problem is I would like to maintain the independent front end, go up 2" - 3" without having to go with the torsion bar spacer brackets (These things are always the first thing to hit the ground on cross ditches). The leveling key is fine, just looking for a set of coil-overs for the front at the same time to help support the front end (I don't want to break the torsion bars ). I have Pro-comp 3000 up front already and they are really nice for gravel roads, and they were not super expensive. The rear end I can deal with easily. Brake lines and what not are easy as well as an alignment.

The kit is what I am after, of good quality as well.

My background is Qualified Heavy Duty mechanic, Qualified Small Engine mechanic. I do understand what is going on, I may need new CV shafts, no biggie, I am really having a hard time to find a good front end kit for my truck.

Failing anything else, I will just put a solid axle up front, not my favorite option really, the truck drives so nice on the pavement.

Any opinion is good by me, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks guys.

I'm not a fan of lifts on Rangers- although I am a fan of the truck itself. Haven't seen a setup yet that didn't have severe negative impact on the on-pavement ride and handling. Simply put, the front end of that truck isn't well suited for any type of lift.
