Im browsing for a lift solution for my 86 C20.

Nothing extreme, 2-4" will be fine.

Im struggling as most kits seem to be for the K20 variant.... does anyone make a decent 2WD kit for my rig?

Thanks :)

Blocks in the back, springs in the front - call it a day.

I just put the HD coils in the front of my C30 & it now sits about 5" higher in the front. Still can't decide of I want to stay with these or go to a standard set for just a factory ride height. The HD's are 35% stiffer than stock, & as it sits now, the shocks are all the way out. If you choose to go this route, the stock shocks do not work, & the ride is very rough. I would not want these under my dd.

You don’t see lift kits for old 2wd trucks because virtually no one does that.
I’m sure someone makes something but short of expensive/custom prerunner type stuff, there’s not much/anything out there that I’ve seen.
