1978 c20 2wd lift....

[keso]

Hello all..new here...I have purchased a 78 custom deluxe 6 cyl 4 speed truck with only 75,000 miles...It needs some body work..engine repairs...etc....but is a sound platform to test my bodywork skills.It sat idle in our warehouse for 20 years but with a new battery,fuel pump and aux. fuel source I got it home. I have purchased a set of 35x12.50x15 tires with wagon wheels 3/4 tread and want to install..I know..fake 4wd...but I have only 300 into the package so far.I think the lift in the rear is pretty easy but the 2wd front is another story....The truck will be for fun..traveling a few hundred miles a year...could anyone help me on this lift?

my advice on independent front ends is, don't do it. you will regret it down the road. highdesertranger

Im also looking to lift my 2wd but not in the same extensive manner you are. Im just looking to level it with the back and make it high enough to clear 265/16s. I think eventually im going to swap the 1/2 ton coils with 3/4 ton coils and add new shocks. And while im in there im going to add a set of 6 lug conversion rotors to make my 78 c10 a 6 lug truck.
