Default Lift and Lowering Struts Question?

So, I don't post a lot but I read a lot. Had a question about these struts, I've been looking up how to level out my 96 3L and the first thing to come up were 2" coil spacers. I drive a canyon road to school everyday so my lowered suspension is great but i don't like the look of the front end dip. It is time to get struts and this page I found says that these adjustable ones can do the trick. So my question: does Belltech or a similar brand make these for a 96 with a Belltech 3/4 drop? And will they do what I need them to do? Also if they don't make them. can I get some from an F-150 or S-10 etc. to fit...

Thanks in advance

Didn't realize that my Ranger has front shocks not struts sorry for my incorrect info. Is it possible to convert to struts though?
