87 R10 LWB Lift

Can I just add say 3/4 ton coil springs to front to lift the front or would I have to change anything else. I just want it to sit a little taller. then I might do something to level the rear with the front if have to.

1 ton big block springs might raise it up a little, but it'll ride rougher. There used to be a company that sold a lift for 2WD Squares, but they are long gone.

There was a thread where a guy had a c20 that had ld coils and changed to c30 hd coils and got a 2 inch lift.

Would these do anything. or the lift coils from airbagit.com for the C10

you very much could get some hd, big block or 1 ton springs and raise it some or even spring spacers. The ride will suffer or become harsh either way

What about the airbagit stuff. would that be better and the link i posted for the suspension leveling kit. is that like a lift or what airbagit doesnt give much description to their products. http://www.airbagit.com/Suspension-Leveling-Kit-p/lev-coi-gm7387a.htm

no clue on that stuff I really don't think that kit in the link is right thought it looks more like a newer truck kit. It does say c10 though
